“The most important thing is to be consistent.”

“You've got to have a short memory. You can't let one call affect the next one.”

“The best compliment you can get is that you're a fair umpire.”

“I'm a screamer. I'm a yeller. I get it out of my system and I'm done.”

“You're only as good as your last call.”

“I’ve been cussed out, spit on, and I’ve had everything but a knife in my back.”

“My philosophy is, 'It's my game, and I'm the boss.'”

“An umpire's job is to keep the game moving.”

“The players are bigger, stronger, faster, and a lot of them are a lot dumber.”

“When I first came up, you had guys who were tough, they were men. Now you have a lot of crybabies.”
