When George Burke took the field in the 2014 Cal Ripken 10-Year-olds World Series at Winchester, Virginia, it marked his sixth Cal Ripken World Series (one of which as UIC) in his 24 years of umpiring. George has also served on the umpiring crews at two Babe Ruth World Series (in 2007 and 2010).  He has also umpired at eight Southeast Region Cal Ripken tournaments (five of which as UIC), 28 Virginia State Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken tournaments, and numerous District tournaments. In August 2014, he was among 91 umpires from across the country and 104 baseball teams from all over the United States and Canada invited to participate in the Cooperstown (New York) Hall of Fame AAU 12-to-13 Year-olds amateur baseball tournament.

George assists in the assignment of umpires for Virginia State baseball tournaments and has been a driving force behind the program to develop and hold training sessions for Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken State baseball umpires. Working with State UIC Donny Rose, Jr., and the late Don Rose, Sr., George planned and conducted training sessions for new umpires at Gainesville-Haymarket, Big Stone Gap, and Brentsville.  He has helped Donny Rose, Jr., organize, schedule, and run baseball umpire clinics annually throughout Virginia [at Fishersville, Falls Church, Herndon, Arlington, Stafford, Glen Allen, Staunton, Winchester, Springfield, Lakeside (Richmond),  Varina, Williamsburg, Fauquier County, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Madison County, Summit Point (WV), and Peachtree (Charlottesville)]. He also helps run the Junior Umpire program.

George lives in Summit Point, West Virginia.
