Who the hell was talking about PBUC? I was talking about being overweight having nothing to do with your ability to umpire well, and the fact that there are really good umpires who are fat. Of course PBUC wants fit officials, since it's for pro ball. The trend has shifted that way in the pro ranks. But seeing as how over 60% of the general population is either overweight or obese according to statistics, the odds are that there are as many fat guys umpiring as skinny guys.
Being overweight doesn't necessarily hurt your umpiring either, as long as you can still get around on the field like you're supposed to.
