Tee, I did not specify MLB umpires in my post. I'd never seen MLB umpires work as wide as Gerry did. I was referring to local umpires who just happened to use that style of stance. I also didn't mean to imply that there was widespread (no pun intended) use of the stance, only a few. Perhaps it wasn't the exact stance taught today, but it was really close. You might even recognize the name of this one guy who has used the stance for many years.
