He also uses a baseball clicker for downs (balls) and innings for quarters. I never ask what the strikes are for, number of holding calls per quarter he did not call.
Great umpire just a little strange,he will be starting his 38th year this season.
Maybe the strikes are for the number of penalties he calls in the game, since we all know umpires never call penalties.
