That's a picture by Bob Larson from the Yahoo LL umpires group.


Bunch~a~Smitty's anyway. Just look at them all trying to look like real umpires!



Tim.

I could not see the picture posted, so I went to the source. Let's be fair, Tim. The title of the picture is "1blx vs. 3blx" and it is one of two pictures. The other shows the fielder and runner in the same position with the umpire in the 3blx instead of 1blx position. Viewed in context, it is obvious that the purpose is to show why 3blx is the way to make this call.

Bob Larson posted the picture, but I don't think he is in it. Maybe. I know from other posts that he annually attends a professional clinic on the East Coast. Your reference to a bunch of smittys seems misplaced. Shouldn't you save your criticism for the wannabee umpires who don't seek advanced training?
