THE UMPIRE

WEEKLY THOUGHTS

June 20, 2023

A couple of Friday nights ago, I watched a ball game at Dell Diamond. For one pitch, it was a fastball, and the ball glanced off the bat straight into the umpire’s face mask. It threw the umpire back several feet and knocked him flat on his back.

That umpire was down!

The other umpires ran to his aid and cared for him before walking him off the field.

I mention this not so much because the umpire got hit, but because the others ran to help him immediately. They were there for him.

You never know what's going to hit you in life, whether it be a baseball to the head or something else, but you do know that you won't be going it alone.
