    Was informed from the man himself (UR Out) that Madison will be moving up to AA next year! Congrats Kevin, I can only imagine how proud you must be!

    Wow !

    Madison was named to Baseball America's 2008 Minor League All Star team.
    That's not just SAL, or class A, but for all the players in all the leagues in the minors.
    Congratulations on a huge accomplishment capping off an outstanding season !

    Like I've said before I'm a huge fan of this guy, always has fun on the field, never gets upset, carries himself with great class. I've seen him in high school and now in the minors and the way he plays and acts on the field hasn't changed. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet him one day!

    headed to Scottsdale for Instructionals for a month with ak, they all flew out today. can't wait to have ak back for a bit more than 10 days, they flew by, but I guess you can relate with Ben being so far away, but yet it is drivable for you guys, you are lucky! best of luck to ben for the upcoming season.

    Congrats to Madison! It shows you what happens when incredible talent meets up with character and hard work. Also congrats to Kevin- what a great guy and the best umpire I have had in 20 years of coaching. :bowdown2:

    Now you've done it 29er....he's going to be even harder to live with. If I question a call next year he's going to throw it up in my face that "29er said I was the best umpire in 20 years....:REDanceBanana008:

    I believe Kevin has some... err.... compromising pictures. Poor 29er has to be nice.

    KB is a very good Blue. However, his signature delayed strike call, while distinctive, plays H#(* for play by play announcers. :)
    Good news, the calls are usually (99.99999) right on the money.
