@LSUbaseball
Our hearts are heavy as we learn of the passing of our friend Mark Chapman, one of the best umpires in NCAA Baseball and a first-class man. We were blessed to witness his skills as an official and his sincere love of the game over many years at "The Box." Rest In Peace, Mark.

Let’s respect the wishes of the Chapman Family. Time will tell if it was meant to be.

Good friend of my dad’s. Got the phone call Sunday with the news and my dad was pretty shaken.

Man, I must have his name on a hundred broadcasts. Gotta really love baseball to do a job where you’re going to be berated every single game.

Condolences to his family and may there be a next life
