The Umpire Is Out

Dale Scott's career as a professional baseball umpire spanned nearly forty years, including thirty-three in the Major Leagues, from 1985 to 2017. What makes Scott's book truly different is his unique perspective as the only umpire in the history of professional baseball to come out as gay during his career. His story is fascinating both for his umpiring career and for his being a pioneer for LGBTQ people within baseball and across sports.
