這裡有一篇談如何成為MLB裁判的簡單介紹： http://yarbertown2.wordpress.com/2007/04/06/ so-you-wanna-be-a-major-league-baseball-umpire/ 先決條件：1 耐心 2 有別的收入 目前職業裁判公司只承認2所裁判學校，都在佛羅里達，學費3000美金。 300個畢業生，只有每個學校畢業的前25個學生能入選參加評量課程， 再由教師評鑑後，向Rookie 及短期 Class A 提出推薦，能不能獲得雇用 是另外回事。幸運的少數由此開始，月薪大概2000,爬到Class AAA的裁判位置， 平均要花12年，生活才會舒適一點。 The first two qualifications you’ll need are patience and an alternate source of income. There are only two umpire schools accredited by The Professional Baseball Umpire Corporation, both of which are located in Florida. Tuition will run you about $3,000 at either. Once enrolled, you’ll be instructed in subjects like the rules of baseball, proper signaling, and the philosophy of umpiring. Instructors are looking for more than umps that know the rules; they want umpires who exude confidence, display a strong on-field presence, have knowledge of the mechanics (where to go when the ball goes into play), and good use of voice. Out of the approximately 300 graduates, only the top 25 from each school are selected to attend an evaluation course. There, instructors monitor the students and make recommendations to Rookie and short-season Class A league presidents about candidates for hire. If you’re one of the chosen few, you’ ll spend several years working your way up to the highest minor league level, Class AAA, from which MLB scouts for umpires. As a Rookie or Class A short season umpire, you’ll earn about $2,000 per month, and it takes an average of eight to 12 years to work your way up to Triple-A, where the income reaches a more comfortable level. -- There are a lot things we don't want to know about the people we love. --- Chuck Palahniuk --
