Richie Garcia
Legendary major league baseball umpire Richie Garcia joins Dan Hirshberg for a frank discussion about the challenges of umpiring in today's game. Garcia, who umped thousands of games over the years before retiring as one of the best, reflects on his career and what he thinks about the new automatic-ball-strike system and what it will mean for those umpiring behind the plate when it debuts in MLB this coming spring. Garcia has been a part of many historical moments as an ump, including the year he was on the World Series crew when the 1989 earthquake hit San Francisco.
