Jeff Henrichs - Umpire, Lincoln.

You don't argue with this man in blue! Jeff Henrichs has earned the respect of all who have been involved in the great game of baseball. He has umpired games at all levels, from little league to the majors. This Lincoln East graduate has just completed his 30th year of umpiring and he did it with class, as he was selected umpire in chief of the College World Series this year. From taking an umpiring class in high school, Jeff went on the Joe Brinkman umpire school where he was an outstanding student, graduating first in his class.. He was chosen to work in the minor leagues for 10 years and then went on to the majors. Umpiring college baseball was his first choice and in 1995 he started on the road to becoming one of the best. He's proven himself by working NCAA regionals, eight super regional and five College World Series. The baseball season is a long one but between seasons he works on umpire development and his own Champion Fundraising company in California.
