ESPN is amazing.
Eric Gregg will be remembered for one rotten game in a Marlins-Braves game and a controversial series with the Cubs-Braves. That's a shame because he was a cool guy with some great stories. Like McSherry, he was a big guy and not the best umpire in the Show, but he made it. In 1999, when Phillips screwed the pooch, it was guys like Gregg that took the pipe for it. He was just interviewed on a Philly station last year and said that he could hardly bear to watch the game any more since he missed it too much. There's a lesson there, boys...
