Download Everything Happens in Chillicothe: A Summer in the Frontier League With Max McLeary, the One-Eyed Umpire AudioBook Free
"A very important factor about Potential was that he was about as well-adjusted to his impairment, if you need to call it that, as anyone could be... He even used his eyesight once to shut up an obnoxious high school coach. After he'd noticed all the complaining he wished to hear, Max needed his eye from the outlet and handed it to the stunned coach, saying, 'You want to umpire this game? Here, be my visitor.'" Everything Happens in Chillicothe can be an authentic, behind-the-scenes go through the lowest rung of professional baseball, and a biography of Potential McLeary, the one-eyed umpire and a most interesting individual. Publisher Mike Shannon put in the 2000 Frontier League season attending games with McLeary and provides his bill of the growing season here. The audiobook speaks amounts about umpiring as an occupation, relationships (specifically between Potential and his estranged son, a minor little league player; between Potential and his long-suffering wife Patty; and between Potential and his umpiring spouse Jim Schaly), life in small-town America, and the various people connected with the Chillicothe Paints and other teams in the Frontier League. Many funny and poignant testimonies, are informed here for the first time, by McLeary, Schaly, yet others.
