I know you were kidding around a little; just wanted to explain it to those who might not know.
You are on to something, though: With a crew of 6 the SP umpire you mentioned could get by with his mobility.  |
The hardest working guy on a 6-man crew is usually whoever is working 2B provided the crew chief wants him to go out on fly balls to CF.
I was hoping we'd see a crew working the playoffs that included Gorman, Wendelstedt, DiMuro and Welke. Maybe sometime soon.
