OK Next question:
Why was the American League known as a "High Strike" league?? (Drug references notwithstanding   ) |
Use of the balloon protector kept umpires' heads higher, thus being able to call the high strike. The NL umps used the inside protector, which allowed them to get down lower, call a low strike, and fewer high strikes.
Next question:
Who was the first umpire to wear glasses on the field?
