I think the association banning all facial hair is the easiest way to assure the neat look they are trying to portray. It would be far more difficult to have someone say... gee, Joe your beard is nice and short and trimmed its ok, but you Charlie need to trim that up a bit before you can do a game. No wiggle room is easier to enforce with less problems or arguments.
Well said. Our association is open on the topic. If nothing else, it gives all umpires the uniform look. We've got one guy who wears a beard at least 6" long. Do any teams really care - probably not. If nothing else they recognize him when he shows up. One would think the heat of a hot summer is enough to dissuade anyone from having any facial hair under a mask.

This one's easy. I'd call him Steve. I know that guy.

Seriously though - this guy has nothing on my "Verbal Fan Interference" guy (same as the "Caught-Bounced-3rd Strike Guy")
