  • Ted Barrett: Gratitude, Servanthood and Heart on a 25+ Year MLB Journey
    Nov 17 2020

    Few people represent the values of Umpire Inspire more than veteran MLB Umpire Ted Barrett. It's his servant's attitude toward umpiring and the mentor role he has rightly earned over the course of his 25+ year MLB career. It's his determination to lead with the best example he can and to "pay forward" what others have poured into him. And it's how he backs it all up by the way he gives his time, effort, and talent to others, both on an MLB diamond and in the offseason, far away from the spotlight.

    It was a pleasure and a privilege for Your Humble Host to visit with Ted, and I hope you'll be as inspired as I have been by the example this outstanding umpire sets for us. Enjoy!

    High school, college and Little League umpire Dan Campagnolo mines his decades in umpiring to share some concrete tips and a few stories, including: what NOT to do when you forget your shinguards; how to never worry about counting mid-inning warmup pitches again; and why working the dish for the Little League World Series Championship Game in 2012 was maybe only the third-coolest thing that happened to Dan that year. Enjoy!
