	NASO Press Releases
		Young is the fourth MLB umpire to receive the award since its inception in 1987.
		Young downplays his "star status" as a professional official, but it was one of his early on-field mentors who directed him to reach out and use such status to make a difference.
		Last summer Young became famous overnight, not for an umpiring decision, but for a "baseball blooper." During a game in Arizona between the Diamondbacks and the Cardinals, Young was struck in the face when he inadvertently got in the way of a throw from Diamondbacks second baseman Jay Bell to first baseman Mark Grace.

	NASO Gold Whistle Award Winner Larry Young
		Young, donating his services as he had done so many times before, had put aside his spikes and chest protector for a striped shirt and whistle to serve as referee for a Village of Progress basketball game involving developmentally disabled athletes.
		Larry Young is a name that is probably subliminally buried somewhere in your subconscious from the dozens of times you’ve heard it mentioned during Major League Baseball broadcasts.
		From organizing “Larry Young and Friends Charities,” a foundation that has raised almost $100,000 for charities and scholarships in Illinois, to playing Santa Claus, to quietly donating umpiring equipment, to pulling his buddies through their darkest days, Young is a constant source of positive, inspiring energy.

	CNNSI.com - MLB Baseball - Arbitrator rules 9 of 22 fired umpires to get jobs back - Saturday May 12, 2001 09:48 PM
		"While feeling vindicated that its core position that the umpires resigned and that MLB had the right to hire replacements was upheld, we are at a loss to understand the arbitrator's conclusions with respect to some of the National League umpires," the commissioner's office said in a statement.
		Last summer, as part of negotiations for a new labor contract, baseball had offered to rehire 10 of the 22 at the major league level, rehire three at the minor league level, give four buyouts and allow the other five to retire.
		At the behest of Phillips, umpires submitted mass resignations in July 1999, pushing for an early start to negotiations to replace the labor contract that ran through that December.

	Rays: Butcher says umpire at fault in ejection
		BOSTON - Devil Rays pitching coach Mike Butcher said he does not deserve to be suspended for his actions after he was ejected from Monday's game and suggested veteran umpire Larry Young was the one who did something wrong.
		As Butcher charged onto the field after being ejected by home-plate umpire Alfonso Marquez in the first inning, Young, the crew chief, ran in from third base to intercept him and there clearly was contact between the two.
		What appeared to bother Butcher more was something he claimed Young said that apparently was derogatory about the Rays.
