Bill Klem Umpires Quotations

An angry player can't argue with the back of an umpire who is walking away.

The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.

Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.

The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it.

I told the umpires to walk back at least thirty-five feet from home plate. That reduced the arguements.
