Sirius/XM satellite radio sports update anchor and producer extraordinaire Diane Roberts serves up an entertaining and edifying look at a day in the life of an umpire whose love for baseball and search for the women who will follow in her plate shoes have taken her all over the world and back home again...
When this program aired over the PBS network of affiliates in April, the Time/Warner onscreen guide listed me in the logline! (Hint: I'm not "The Queen of Swing" :-)
That fiery redhead you’ll see in the video talking about baseball’s stained grass window? She’s more of a sedate silver fox now – as seen in these photos taken one year later, the one at left from a recent University of Bridgeport@Columbia contest with my base partner and erstwhile Atlantic League compadre Joe Bottita, the one at right in the umpires’ dressing room at Richmond County Stadium where the Staten Island Yankees play. (I was there for a cold and damp St. Peters@Wagner College game.) Check out my pink equipment case!
Awesome, Perry. You deserve this kind of video feature. ;)
