Great teaching makes for great umpiring and both teams come out happy with the result. Cutting down on bad calls is not easy but it is an art and always the job of the umpire to do the very best job to understand the rules of the game and to apply them in key situations and every moment situations.

John was my instructor at the Bill Kinnamon Umpire School in St. Petersburg in 1981. He was also a friend that I enjoyed visiting a couple of times at Wrigley. We went for dinner after the game and I enjoyed his company immensly. My mom called me at work to let me know of John's untimely death in Cincinnati in 1996. I was heartbroken and still miss him. He was a terrific umpire and an even better instructor.

John McSherry was the Umpire who died right before a game. Just as the game was gonna start, John started wobbling and fell down and died. they had to call off the game
