I would not underestimate Lance: he might well have created BOTH.
The 13-umpire system uses one umpire for each defensive player for catch/no-catch, plus one at each base for safe/outs. The PU calls balls and strikes, while the umpire for F2 gets an angle for foul/foul tip.
That's my recollection, anyway. I'd like to see the system in print again to refresh my memory for the next time 6 extra crews show up at one of my games.
