The MLB Umpire Blue Book?
First, is this what it looks like, yes or no?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Major-League-Bas...QQcmdZViewItem

Second, can anyone confirm if this is an authentic MLB "Blue Book" from one of the 2 professional umpire schools?

The MLBUM comes from MLB, not the schools.

Never seen a hard copy so I can't commernt on it's validity.

Evans has the PBUC manual on his web site but that isn't what is pictured in the ebay offering.

The book on Ebay, which was purchased by our own Sal, is the MLBUM. It's the same 2002 edition that I have, I believe.

The helmet just completes the picture.

I have the mis fortune of owning one of these Good humour man shirts, However, pls note, I did not buy it but was given and asked to wear it for a specific event. The shirt itself, if you can get past the look (which I can't) is probably the most comfortable shirt I own. I have not worn it since the game I was asked to, except as a joke for the buddies.

If you move to Indiana you can wear it again.

Only the superior officials get to wear the shirts with extra trim. It's like when you graduate with honors from high school/college and get those fancy cord things. Same deal...

It's not. The K17 has shoulder trim only. No sleeve trim. No collar trim.
