Anyone who votes for McGowan is 100 percent right. He was a great umpire. He belongs in the Hall of Fame.

There are umpires, and there are those who hold the title.

Fame - anyone who says he doesn't like it is crazy.

I think I earned the players' respect, and that's the ultimate in life, isn't it? I didn't care if they liked me or disliked me, as long as I had their respect.

I'll take anyway to get into the Hall of Fame. If they want a batboy, I'll go in as a batboy.

Goose Gossage is a friend of mine, and he's definitely a Hall of Fame pitcher in my mind.
