Congratulations to two of our finest D5 umpires!
Congratulations to both Kraig Max and Renee Sedillo. Kraig and Renee have been selected to umpire in 2007 at post state tournaments.
Kraig, originally from Mile High, has been selected to umpire at the Senior Baseball Regional Tournament in Blytheville, Arkansas and also to umpire at the Senior Baseball World Series in Bangor, Maine. Kraig was formerly the Chief Umpire for District 5. Congratulations, Kraig. It is a great honor to be selected for these prestigious tournaments.
Renee, originally from Zia, has been selected to umpire at the Little League Regional Tournament in Waco, Texas. Congratulations, Renee. It is a great honor to be selected to the Regional Little League Tournament.
Beginning in 2007, we can all watch from the comfort of our living room as the championiship games from these tournaments will be televised on ESPN.
I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that two of “our guys” have been selected for these tournaments. If you consider how many umpires they have to choose from, it is a real testament to their skills that they have been selected. If you see them, please let them know how much they are appreciated. We all know that umpires have a thankless job.
