As the director of NASA\u2019s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Dr. Jimmy Kenyon is used to making important decisions at work. He also likes to call the shots on the baseball field as a volunteer umpire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July, Kenyon packed up his gear and traveled to Ankeny, Iowa, as part of a four-man umpire crew for the Little League Intermediate 50\/70 Baseball Central Region Tournament. He was selected for this crew assignment in May, as the Little League season was getting underway.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking the call is part of the job at NASA Glenn, but it\u2019s also something I enjoy as a volunteer umpire for Little League Baseball and softball,\u201d Kenyon said. \u201cIt allows me to share the excitement of baseball and NASA with young players, who may very well be part of our future workforce someday.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
