The 1BLX and 3BLX positioning is relatively new. When Bruce learned to umpire, the proponents of these new-fangled ideas were either not born yet or cuddlin' a Cabbage Patch. He just gets in the best position to see the play.
Froemming = 5,000 major league games umpired.
Steve and Joe combined = zero, zilch, zip, nada, the null set MLB games umpired.
See the contrast?
