MLB finding talent at umpire camps
(AP) — Charlie Reliford sold his car to chase his big league dreams, using the money to help play the cost of attending umpire school.
MLB held its fifth and final 2016 umpire camp Saturday at Tropicana Field before the Tampa Bay Rays hosted the Texas Rangers.
Five to seven attendees will end up getting invitations to join a group totaling around 30 for a December mini-camp in Fort Myers that will determine umpire school scholarship recipients.
