We don't know any details of calling hours or services yet - apparently Jack made all arrangements with the funeral home before he went in for his first surgery - so like him to do so!!! Jack touched so many lives and I know many will be as sad as we are at this time - hard to imagine life without this wonderful man.

2011 brings no uniform changes For clarification only Uniform Shirt Combinations – Approved When more than 2 umpires are assigned to a contest, the base umpires shall be dressed alike. That means that the base umpires shall wear the same uniform top, be it jacket, long sleeve or short sleeve shirt. Additionally, base umpires are to wear the same color t-shirt beneath the uniform top. The default is for the base umpires to wear either the long sleeve jacket or short sleeve shirt with the red t-shirt. When umpires from different chapters are assigned to work the same contest and one umpire has an approved jacket without a flag on the back and another umpire has a jacket with a flag on the back, both umpires will be considered wearing the proper uniform. CLIFF KEEN U126 shirts with DRY FIT material are not approved for use by NYSBUA due to decision to change fabric in CLIFF KEEN U126 model shirt resulting in color change. NYSBUA members may purchase CLIFF KEEN U126 shirts that are NOT MADE with DRY FIT material. The Education Committee presented an on-field clinic. Clinicians from throughout the state presented different umpire coverages. Please plan on having your chapter attend in the coming year.
