Thank you for sharing what you know with those of us who know less.
I am a little curious as to whether Mr. Evans found your inquiry more amusing or more annoying. If you should choose not to satisfy my curiosity on this point, I certainly understand.
Sincerely,

The latter, but not because of my specific question, just the frequency with which he has to deal with mis-attributions in general. He was also aware that somebody was spoofing his identity on the McGriff's board recently, and kind of threw this into the same general category. Unfortunately, I think Jim thinks the internet does more harm than good in the area of baseball rules and umpiring discussions. I don't agree, and I think he thinks this because he's only exposed to a lot of the silliness, and he doesn't see the everyday occurrence of umpires asking questions in good faith and getting accurate and helpful answers, like we do.
I think he would be OK with my passing along one thing he said - if you ever see someone posting on an internet board as Jim Evans, you can be assured it's a spoof and not him, because he will never post to an internet board.
