"I will never forget umpiring on the 4th of July as 'Old Glory' was waving in the breeze down the foul lines. How proud I was to be an American and umpire in Cooperstown at Dreams Park! What a gorgeous setting, the fields and the mountains in the background, and the summer splendor of the cool New York countryside. This was an awesome and incredible experience for a country boy from Mississippi."

"Pride, honor, respect, love of the game, brotherhood, friendship, laughter, tears and nothing but pure fun. That is the best way I can describe the wild range of feelings and emotions I experienced the week . . . while umpiring at your Cooperstown Dreams Park."

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart. From opening day, the games, through the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony and receiving my ring ...... It was a Blast!! An umpire is suppose to be tough and have his heart on his sleeve. This place can bring an umpire to his knees. Thank you for the wonderful memories!"
