"UMPIRE ACADEMY"

A student umpire works on his hand motion in the mirror before calling balls and strikes in a simulated game while under the watch of an instructor who is playing the role of a team manager at the indoor batting cages during the Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring on January 27, 2011 at the Houston Astros Spring Training Complex in Kissimmee, Florida. Jim Evans was a Major League Umpire for 28 years that included umpiring four World Series. Many of his students have gone on to work on all levels of baseball including the Major Leagues.
