I am sincerely curious and by no means intend any insult; but what kind, or level, of baseball refers to the base umpire as an FU?

Garth: In Texas, we referred to the base umpire as "the field umpire" until the mid 70s. I imagine FU is still around in many parts of the country.
Contrast what the FED does: Here's a three-man crew: U1, U2, U3. U2 is at first!
Now that's worse than FU.
Even Blaine's FU.

What I meant to write was "but in what kind, or in what level of baseball is the base umpire still referred to as an FU?
Heck, I remember some referring to the BU as the "grass umpire", even on a dirt field. I guess that "GU" is being used somewhere.

what difference does it make Fu GU XU
beer is alcohol, i am Pentecostal Christian and am offended by your remark it is sacriligious

newatumpiring,
Please don't give the rest of Christianity a bad name by being offended by a reference to beer. I know Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis personally, and I assure you, they are not offended by references to alcohol, and neither should you be. Jesus himself drank wine, for cryin' outloud. When the Holy Ghost descended on the day of Pentacost, the town folks thought the disciples were drunk, since they did, on occasion, enjoy a libation with the Master.
You may or may not be new to umpiring, but you are certainly new to this forum. You will find much more to be offended by than beer if you stick around.
