Also, one other article: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...s.2ea98b4.html
In other veteran umpire news, does anyone have any contacts to Ed Montague? He hasn't worked in a while but was at the Bruce Froemming ceremonies in Boston last week. Just wondering if he's also decided to hang up his gear.
