This week we’re joined by current MLB umpire Alfonso Marquez to share his journey officiating baseball.
Marquez has been an integral part of MLB field crews for over 24 seasons having worked in the [National League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_League_(baseball)) in 1999 and has worked throughout both major leagues since 2000. He was promoted to crew chief for the 2020 season, becoming the first full time Latino-born crew chief.
Alfonso offers a glimpse into the high stakes world of umpiring major league games, what it takes to become an umpire, and the self-discipline required to be a part of America’s greatest pastime calling the shots.
