The Umpire Is Out: Calling the Game and Living My True Self

by Rob Neyer Dale Scott

Dale Scott&’s career as a professional baseball umpire spanned nearly forty years, including thirty-three in the Major Leagues, from 1985 to 2017. He worked exactly a thousand games behind the plate, calling balls and strikes at the pinnacle of his profession, working in every Major League Baseball stadium, and interacting with dozens of other top-flight umpires, colorful managers, and hundreds of players, from future Hall of Famers to one-game wonders. Scott has enough stories about his career on the field to fill a dozen books, and there are plenty of those stories here. He&’s not interested in settling scores, but throughout the book he&’s honest about managers and players, some of whom weren&’t always perfect gentlemen. But 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. Granted, that was after decades of remaining in the closet, and Scott writes vividly and movingly about having to &“play the game&”: maintaining a facade of straightness while privately becoming his true self and building a lasting relationship with his future husband. He navigated this obstacle course at a time when his MLB career was just taking off—and when North America was consumed by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Scott&’s story isn&’t only about his leading a sort of double life, then opening himself up to the world and discovering a new generosity of spirit. It&’s also a baseball story, filled with insights and memorable anecdotes that come so naturally from someone who spent decades among the world&’s greatest baseball players, managers, and games. Scott&’s story is fascinating both for his umpiring career and for his being a pioneer for LGBTQ people within baseball and across sports.

D-Generation X, as they were also known, headed by Triple H and Shawn Michaels and had a changing roster of rebels who did whatever they wanted, whenever, wherever- regardless of the ultimate outcome. Created as a way for two friends to work together, the clique became so popular that other wrestlers joined, and DX became one of the factions in WWE climbing back to the top and putting Ted Turner's WCW out of business.
