		Harry Wendelstedt and Lou DiMuro were classy, but instead of following their father's footstep's they seem to step in Joe West's bootprints.

		Author Steve Kemper attended the Harry Wendelstedt School for Umpires in Ormond Beach, Florida and discovered how fine the line was between "out" and "safe." Getting more than a quarter of the plays wrong, Kemper could imagine all those angry armchair umpires getting ready to wrap their hands around his neck.
		According to Harry Wendelstedt, who owns the school, you get consistency only after seeing thousands of plays and pitches.
		The instructors make the calls tough so that the students will see everything possible before making a call that counts.
