PEOPLE, Page 79UmpspeakBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
There's no arguing with Betty Speziale. She calls them as she
sees them, and this August she'll be the first woman ever to umpire
a Little League world series. A payroll clerk in western New York
State and mother of two, Speziale, 35, works about a dozen games
weekly for free -- and has a reputation for being tough. "But off
the field I'm a girl first," she insists. Of her new assignment,
she says, "I didn't believe it would happen. But when another
umpire told me I would never get there, I was determined to try."
