Review of 'They Called Me God : The Best Umpire Who Ever Lived' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Glad that I read this, but hoo-boy. This collection of anecdotes is somewhat ordered towards the front and scattered pell-mell towards the back. There are a few opinions about umpiring expressed, though some conflict with others. The best message - stick to a good work ethic.

There is some value in connecting incidents mentioned in some anecdotes to box scores or youtube versions of the same events. Otherwise, I cannot recommend this book to anyone. 1½ stars.
