Ford C. Frick's 10 Commandments of Umpiring
Rank Rule
1 Keep your eye on the ball.
2 Keep all your personalities out of your work. Forget and forgive.
3 Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word.
4 Never charge a player and, above all, no pointing your finger or yelling.
5 Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.
6 Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.
7 Watch your language.
8 Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on.
9 Review your work. You will find, if you are honest, that 90% of the trouble is traceable to loafing.
10 No matter what your opinion of another umpire, never make an adverse comment regarding him. To do so is despicable and ungentlemanly.
