Good call
While sitting at one of his oldest son's Little League games, watching the umps make calls, Ron Cook wasn't happy with what he was seeing. So he decided to put his money where is mouth was, so to speak, and try his hand at making the calls.
“I was watching the game in Port Byron,” said Cook, recalling the game that took place 12 years ago. “I was watching and I didn't think the calls were very good. I thought I could do better, so I decided to see if I could.”
After two seasons in Little League, Cook was hooked and joined the Syracuse Chapter of the New York State Umpires Association in the fall and spent the winter taking the training course.
