Finaly, an umpire we can love!

Jim Stros Umpire 
MSU Alumni, Jim Stros, has been selected to work the plate at the 2008 Aflac All-American High School Baseball Game. The game will be televised live on FSN from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on August 9th.
This is a great honor in an already distinguished career as an umpire and player. Congratulations Jim!
Jim Stros is the Director of the National Umpires Association in Atlanta, Georgia. Jim, originally from Detroit, is a 1990 graduate of Michigan State University. At Michigan State, Jim was a relief pitcher from 1987-1990.
He currently holds three single season Big Ten appearance records as one of the all-time leaders in career appearances at Michigan State. After graduation, Jim had the opportunity to pursue baseball professionally for three seasons in the spring of 91-93, then found another love for the game after becoming an umpire 18 years ago.
For the past 18 years Jim has umpired at all levels working several Perfect Game National Championship games over the years and has built numerous relationships with high school and college coaches across the country.
In 1993, at the Major League Umpires International Camp, professional umpires Mike Reilly, Joe Brinkman, Paul Nauert and Gerry Davis selected Jim as the #1 umpire in his class. Jim was also voted Most Outstanding Umpire in his class at the 1993 NCAA Southern Umpires School.
Jim went on to umpire four full NCAA college seasons before becoming the director full time for the National Umpires Association.
