Have been watching mostly with the sound off so, I was wondering if anyone knew if the crews are all locals, or do some American umps still work down there during the winter?

As recently as last year,American umpires
were calling the Series. A local MiLB umpire
worked it, and used footage of himself in
a clinic held here last year.
