First off, you've been around by now to have heard that MLB is not the model you want to follow in amateur ball. Best in general to simply ignore what they do.

Second, Gregg umpired in a different era, when umpires distinguished themselves by their distinctive zone. Apart from the fact that his era is over, that behavior is diametrically opposed to what we strive for in amateur ball.
