My life has taken quite a turn, since the days of my umpiring major league baseball. Gone are the days of calling balls and strikes, safes and outs, fairs and fouls. Now, my days are full of new experiences! Whether it's the chance to meet a college student, a CEO of a major corporation, or the baseball fan who just wants to talk baseball, I have come to realize I could not be more at peace with my life.

I have had the pleasure of appearing on stage with tennis great Martina Navratilova; I have owned and hosted my own sports radio show in Boston, Massachusetts; I have given countless interviews for television and print media; I have been featured in ESPN's documentary 'Homophobia in Sports', as well as appearing on ESPN's Outside the Lines; and I was honored to be selected by GENRE Magazine as one of the 100 men of the 20th century. On August 2, 2013, I was one of the first inductees to the National Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame. In November of 2016, I was honored to have received the Legend Award by Compete Magazine.
