Help me. What the he11 does this mean? Baseball has been working "the slot" siince 1938.

Another non-umpire answering a question.

Lah Me!

Honest I am out of here.
No, baseball has not been working the slot since 1938. for one, AL used the box while using the outside protector. I see more than one MLB umpire working over the top. I saw more than a few Mariner games this year and saw Mr. Emmel working what would best be described as the Paul Emmel, which is neither Gerry Davis nor the box nor scissors nor anything else.
