There are so few podcasts out there for those of us that love to umpire and that would really like to meet the guys that work all those MLB games on TV. The ability to hear from guys like Gerry, Ted, Phil and more is amazing to me.

Apple Podcasts5PatnjustinUnited States4 years ago - Excellent content!
This podcast provides really interesting insights into the world of professional baseball officiating. It’s cool to hear stories about games from the men who were on the field working those games. Mr. Davis and his colleagues offer lots of tips and pointers that we amateur umpires can take with us to the field as well. Keep up the great show! My only complaint is I wish the podcasts were longer!

Gerry is such a pleasure to listen to, and the host asks great questions as well. The guest are probably the best part, like Cowboy Joe West. I wish the episodes were a bit longer. 30 minutes might be just right. Keep up the great work!

Apple Podcasts5bl0112United States5 years ago - Great podcast !
I am always disappointed when each podcast ends ! Love it! Regular media really never covers the life and role of the umpires!
Apple Podcasts5NCmetalUnited States5 years ago - Love the Topics....but
I love the Topics and the conversations with all. As a fellow umpire thy has gone to pro school and gone on to work at the highest level of College, I appreciate hearing from the Big League guys as they share insight into the craft.
The only recommendation I would make, is to put the Seasons in order so that when we miss a few we can still go back and listen to them without having to go back and hit the screen to play the next in line, especially when it’s a 3 part podcast.
Thanks Gerry, ... more
