--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During a recent tournament, some careful calculationswere done
to figure out really how many pitches Brian Sharples has called
inhis entire life.

 

After umpiring for over 25 years (http://www.softball.ca/Officiating/ODCContacts.aspx),Brian
will reach the 1-Billion pitch mark sometime during his next
assignment,tonight at Dieppe Park in Toronto It has been estimated
that Brian is currently at 999,999,965 pitchescalled to this
day.

 

Brian is excited about the future too.  When askedabout this
milestone, Sharples commented that, “The first billion were challenging–
it’s the next billion that I’m looking forward to.”

 

Tonight’s first pitch goes at Dieppe Parkat 8:30pm sharp.  For
