One thing about Max was that he was about as well-adjusted to his
disability, if you want to call it that, as anyone could be... He
even used his eye once to shut up an obnoxious high school coach.
After he'd heard all the complaining he wanted to hear, Max took
his eye out of the socket and handed it to the stunned coach,
saying, 'You want to umpire this game? Here, be my guest.'"
Everything Happens in Chillicothe is an authentic,
behind-the-scenes look at the lowest rung of professional baseball,
and a biography of Max McLeary, the one-eyed umpire and a most
intriguing individual. Author Mike Shannon spent the 2000 Frontier
League season attending games with McLeary and gives his account of
the season here. The book speaks volumes about umpiring as a
profession, relationships (particularly between Max and his
estranged son, a minor league player; between Max and his
long-suffering wife Patty; and between Max and his umpiring partner
Jim Schaly), life in small-town America, and the various people
connected with the Chillicothe Paints and other teams in the
Frontier League. Many humorous and poignant stories, are told here
for the first time, by McLeary, Schaly, and others.
