Best of luck and best wishes to all the outstanding MLB umpires selected to take charge of this year’s World Series starting tonight. Earning an assignment on baseball’s biggest stage is a tremendous accomplishment and a reflection of the hard work, dedication, preparation, and professionalism it takes to officiate at the highest level. To the entire crew, congratulations on your well-deserved honor!

Thank you @UmpsCare and the @IowaCubs for allowing me to throw a first pitch tonight on my birthday!

This 23-year-old Little League umpire, James Farque, has been umpiring since he was 13. He’s never made a penny from it and has volunteered the entire time. Now, he just got the call to umpire at the Little League World Series next month.

The easiest call of the day? Bringing smiles to the ballpark. ⚾💙

As UMPS CARE Charities celebrates its 20th anniversary, Jays Care athletes had the chance to meet professional umpires, step onto the field, and enjoy a special behind-the-scenes experience.

@UmpsCare have welcomed more than 10,500 guests to the different parks across @MLB!
