Not really. I know Brian Runge personally. I have worked many of his HS and Palomino League games. I have umpired several games with him, and he knows me on a first-name basis. His father, Paul Runge, has evaluated my plate work favorably and knows me by name as well. Paul's father, Ed was also a former member of our association, as was Brian. The Runges live in El Cajon, which is my home town too. So it's quite natural for me to refer to Brian Runge in a familiar manner. I don't feel that sticking up for a former colleague qualifies as downright jock sniffing. But, have it your way. You usually do.
