In this episode:

  • Part one of our conversation with the retired umpire.
  • How hard it is to make the majors as an umpire.
  • How Ted became a full time umpire in 1999.
  • The history he’s seen. He’s the only umpire to be behind the plate for two perfect games and on the field for three. He gave Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox his record breaking ejection and was behind the plate for the longest World Series game ever in 2018.
  • His Christian ministry, by and for umpires, ⁠Calling for Christ.
