Favorite Umpire = Larry Young, he is from where I live.
bad Umpire = CB Buckner (hope I spelled it right) = all I can remember is watching him call balls 6 inches outside a strike while watching the cubs on TV. That's no joke either, the cubs have the southwest airlines planeview camera which shows the plate quite well. I can recall other missed calls to, on the bases too.
I won't say any umpire is the worst, because they all did something right obviously. So they are good, but Buckner is one of the weaker umpires in my opinion.

The toughest call an umpire has to make is not the half-swing; the toughest call is throwing a guy out of the game after you blew the hell out of the play.
