Rest in Peace Emilio
Welcome to the CMBUA Website.	Brewster Whitecap's bat boy offers a cup of water to 3rd base umpire Bob Dwyer (Franklin, MA) on 6/23.

The Board's Mission: To maintain the highest standards of baseball umpiring.
It is a very sad time for the CMBUA community our long time leader Emilio Diotalevi has passed away. Dear CMBUA members, It has been a sad day for all of us as Emilio has passed away. He was the longest standing member on our board. He was also the conduit between our organization and the Marchigiano Club for many years. His humor and wit will be missed. Please say a prayer for Emilio. Jeff Parker President, CMBUA OUR PRESIDENT Needless to say Wednesday, August 11, 2010 has not been one of CMBUA's better days. Our President, Emilio directed the CMBUA from 1985 to 1994. There are currently only 6 members who were on the board prior to Emilio's presidency and there are only 22 current members who were around when Emilio left office. I point this out because we are currently a board of over 150 members and most of our members have no idea how instrumental Emilio was. Prior to 1985 the board went through some difficult times, no where to meet and Framingham wanting to take over control of the board. Because of Emilio's leadership and his demeanor we were able to weather these difficult times and consequently become the board we are today. I had the privilege of serving as Emilio's Vice President and I think that Emilio would appreciate the membership knowing how he ran his administration. I would call Emilio prior to each meeting and ask him if we were all set for the meeting, his job was to secure the hall for the meeting. His comment to me was one of the following: "if you’re all set I'm all set' or his other favorite comment was "I'll control the membership your run the meeting." To this day regardless of who has been the president of our board we have always asked Emilio's advice before we ventured into a new area or decided to move the board into a new direction. Emilio was a fine umpire and a fair and equitable assignor but he was more than that. He was a friend, advisor and a loyal member of our organization. He was extremely proud of the CMBUA and his presents will be missed. As umpires we don't like games that go extra innings, unfortunately Emilio, our President did not have any extra innings in his life. Emilio, God Bless and Rest in Peace. Your Vice President Bob Dwyer A Real Official I had the pleasure of working with and for Emilio on both the baseball diamond and basketball court. In my experience, he was a man of his word who would always back you if you were giving your best to the game. We know he gave his heart and soul to our board in Milford. I will miss him dearly. Ron Sudmyer Great Sadness This is certainly an email and posting that one never wants to make. Our longest standing member (1974) Emilio Diotalevi has passed away. Many of our current members are probably not aware of the many contributions that Emilio has made to the CMBUA over his time as a member. Aside from being an excellent umpire, Emilio served as President longer than any other president. Additionally, he has been a high school assignor for over twenty years. These are the contributions that most are aware of. However, it is the behind the scenes work that people don't know about. This is where Emilio stood out. Emilio's contributions to the board over the years are numerous. Without his leadership and help we would not be the board we are today. At this time are thoughts and prays go out to his two daughters Marissa and Jenna. Today we lost an umpires' umpire, a "brother in blue" and a friend that will be hard to replace. Bob Dwyer If there's a baseball game or basketball game this weekend in heaven we know who will be the official. The CMBUA has officially ended its 2010 baseball umpiring season. To all our members continue to work hard at developing your umpiring skills. Good luck to those umpires who are selected to work the MIAA Tournament. The CMBUA has closed out their canidate's class for 2010. There maybe a candidate's class in January 2011. .
