Listen "The Job of an Umpire is to Remain Anonymous"
Episode Synopsis
This rather clumsy podcast title was born out of the emergence of Jen Powol, the first woman to ever umpire a Major League baseball game in the regular season. The historical significance of this event would be better served if everyone dismissed her gender and acknowledged that measuring her performance at the same standards of her male peers, without bias in either direction, is what really matters. The best umpires are rarely, if ever, noticed, and the best compliment to Jen Powol would be to allow her that same opportunity.
