Slim umps must be a new image...
I have to agree. I remember when John McSherry dropped on the field. Not a good thing at all, especially to a man as respected as he was. MLB is going to do the extreme to try and keep it from happening again. While this is not a 100% effective method to prevent it (as nothing they do is 100% effective in this reguard) it clearly sends the message of stay in shape or here's the door.

BTW T, great article on John. I totally enjoyed it.
