Umpire class gets people ready to take to the field

Training course for new umpires

The boys of summer will soon be taking the field and the people making sure the games are called properly will be ready.

MILWAUKEE - The boys of summer will soon be taking the field and the people making sure the games are called properly will be ready.

Like a duck takes to water, these future umpires will take to a baseball diamond. For 24 years, Jon Kradecki has been training those who want to become an umpire.

The students start off in a classroom learning the rules and proper mechanics.

Then, they move to the on-field training.
