Better Umpiring Through Rule Knowledge

Baseball Rules in Black and White was honored last night to speak at the opening ceremony of Billy Haze’s acclaimed Black and Blue Umpire Camp.  It was an incredible evening filled with introductions of extremely talented and highly respected camp instructors from the highest levels of umpiring in the game of baseball today.

I want to especially thank Mr. Billy Haze and Mr.Jeff Henrichs, for allowing me to speak to their umpire

campers at the opening night of the Sacramento Black and Blue Umpire Camp.  

Billy and Jeff's tireless giving back to the national umpire community is widely known and greatly admired.  To be a small part of everything they are doing to help improve umpires abilities is humbling and phenomenal at the same time.

Phenomenal in regards to hearing from umpires from all experience levels, their personal stories of how Baseball Rules in Black and White’s unique educational format has allowed them to finally grasp a solid understanding of specific rules of baseball is the best feeling an author/umpire could ask for.  

Phenomenal in regards to the acceptance and eagerness expressed by the decades of umpiring experience in that room for Baseball Rules in Black and White’s soon to be released, 2018 College Edition to finally be available. 

Both Billy Haze and Jeff Henrichs only want one thing for other umpires, and that one thing is for every umpire to get better.  By Baseball Rules in Black and White presenting last night has shown me one thing, any book from the Baseball Rules in Black and White series, can and does make better umpires.
