The best seat in baseball, but you have to stand : the game as umpires see it

by Lee Gutkind

About this title: An insightful study of the private and professional world of major league umpires: their prejudices and petty biases, their unbending pride in their performance, their inside perspectives on the game, and their bitter criticism of the abuse often directed at their profession and at their conduct.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
