I didn’t say a MLB ump. I said an ump who came under MLB direction. That could be any ump from Rookie ball up. I imagine there are at least a few minor league umpires with a little time on their hands.

But, someone who’s attended one of the 2 MLB approved umpire’s schools would very likely have a good answer too, if they cared to share it. Not all of them are umping in the pros.

Call me crazy, but I just sent an e-mail to Harry Wendelstedt to see if he might shed some light on the question. I don’t seriously expect an answer, but if I do I’ll be glad to share it, no matter what it says.

Just out of curiosity, IF a miracle did happen, and IF he did answer, and IF he did agree with Niump50, would those of you who find him so offensively wrong be swayed at all? ;-)
