MLB Umpire/Crew Chief and all-around cool guy, Jim Reynolds, talks about what it took to get from umpire school to home plate at the World Series, what it’s really like to be an MLB Umpire, with great stories including his most memorable ejection (Barry Bonds). Jim gives us an insider perspective on the evolution of MLB umping, technologies such as “robo” ump (for balls and strikes), what drives the league’s decisions on implementing changes to officiating, and which pro sport he thinks is the hardest to officiate 😊.  Get ready for an awesome and entertaining conversation with one of the best in the business!  Jim is a passionate ambassador for UMPS CARE Charities. Founded through the compassion of Major League Baseball (MLB) umpires, UMPS CARE provides financial, in-kind and emotional support for America’s youth and families in need. Founded in 2006, UMPS CARE provides VIP experiences to participants from youth-based organizations and military families, visits to pediatric hospitals (complete with Build-A-Bear furry friends) and college scholarships. In addition, UMPS CARE supports families facing financial need within the baseball community.  To learn more and donate to UMPS CARE please visit https://www.umpscare.com 🔔 Subscribe to The Jay and Brian Show on YouTube 👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKAb7zuoWWTa84RiMt1Pxlg?sub_confirmation=1 Episode 23 is now available on Spotify, iTunes, Audible, YouTube, and everywhere else you listen to your favorite podcasts.
