One of the many things I find interesting is this.

If most saw an UKNOWN umpire do this type mechanic, that umpire would most likely be inferred as a "smitty" yet we see some strange things at the major league level.

I was surprised to see Kerwin Danley received a World Series assignment - Ive always felt his zone was inconsistent at best. His half ring up half check swing was just brutal. Regular season game Manuel would have been tossed no doubt in my mind.
