“There is a certain level of acting of being an umpire. Any umpire who tells you that they make all the calls correct isn’t telling the truth. Any umpire who says that you know exactly what has happened is not telling the truth. There are plays that occur that are amazingly close and you actually have no clue whether or not the guy is out or safe and you still have to call it. The key in there is acting in a way that gets everybody to believe that you know exactly what happened, even if you have absolutely no clue.”
-Andrew Palay
