United States, Umpire November 5, 1946
James Bremond Evans (born November 5, 1946) is a former umpire in Major League Baseball (MLB) who worked in the American League (AL) from 1971 to 1999, and ran a professional umpiring school from 1990 through 2012.

I reached the point where I actually enjoyed the umpiring more than playing.
Professional managers, coaches, and players have a right to question an umpire's decision if they do it in a professional manner. When they become personal, profane, or violent, they have crossed the line and must be dealt with accordingly.
I have looked back on situations and thought that I could have handled a few differently and probably better.
When I was 14, I played in a summer league. One night the chief umpire asked me if I would like to try umpiring. There was a Little League tournament coming up and he needed more umpires than he had.
My dad was a carpenter and I would work with him during the summer and umpire on the nights I wasn't playing.
