World Series Umpiring Crew

[goyanksgonj]

One-third of the crew is already known for sure:

Chief is Marsh, and McClelland is also on

[mattmets]

2 CC assignments in 4 years for Randy...that's impressive.

I think the crew will look like this:

John Hirschbeck (cc)
Alfonso Marquez
Ted Barrett
Mike Everitt
Ed Rapuano
Randy Marsh

Alt(s): Wally Bell & Larry Poncino

johnSandlin, between your six regulars and your two alternates suggested here, you've successfully conquered 2/3 of the actual crew members. I'll fumble through the rest of the posts and see if anyone has nailed either of the incorrectly chosen ones, of which you have four, johnSandlin. That might give you a big hint. Also, take this other hint however you choose. You picked the wrong Crew Chief. Have fun!

[tjones1]

How does mine look go?

[goyanksgonj]

mattmets, you picked three correctly, including, hint, hint, one of the two johnSandlin didn't have right. Your Crew Chief is also wrong.

LLPA13UmpDan, how do I say this nicely, nill.

tiger49, you picked four correctly, including, hint, hint, the other one of the two johnSandlin didn't have right. Just like mattmets, however, unfortunately, your Crew Chief is also wrong.

and, tjones1, last but, certainly not least, your real shot, the better of the two selections you had, had four picked correctly, including, hint, hint, the same one of the two johnSandlin didn't have right that tiger49 correctly picked. Just like mattmets and tiger49, however, your Crew Chief is also wrong.

OK, so, Goyanksgo, let me know if my 3 minutes of effort I put into this was fruitful. Here's the crew I came up with:

CC- Randy Marsh
1B- Alfonso Marquez
2B- Wally Bell
3B- Tim Tschida
LF- Ed Rapuano
RF- Tim McClelland

Even if the positions are wrong, do I have any right? And, just curious, what's your source?

mattmets, you've successfully conquered 2/3 of the actual crew. Only 1/6, however, is in proper position.

The actual crew is as follows:

30, 36, ?, ?, 35, and 72

Is this a guess or confirmed?

[jpc2119]

That's my guess of who the other two are.


Winters could very well be a Crew Chief soon, he deserves it.

Poncino's been around for so long he has to get one sooner or later.

[mattmets]

I'll say Winters and Hirschbeck.

[CJN]

I'll take Bill Welke and Ed Rapuano

(I would go with Mike Winters, but everyone else was on him. So I threw another one in.)

[rs1128]

Marsh, Marquez, Hirschbeck, Bell, Winters, McClelland (?)
