BTW, Next question: We all know about the Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring and the Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School. What names were these schools under before their current incarnations??
I believe Jim Evans moved his school from Arizona to the former Joe Brinkman facility. Harry's school was originally the Al Somers Umpire School. Joe Brinkman's school originally was the Bill Kinnamon Umpire School.

This is off the top of my pointy little head, so I may not be exactly right here.

Nope. You are correct


Next question: Name at least one of the two National League umpires who were allowed to use the Outside chest protector.

Well, I already used this one in another question: Beans Reardon. I still get to ask the next question from a prior answer:

There was a chest protector (not much of one as it turns out) which I used for about 2 months of my first season. It was made by Wilson. It was covered in a canvass-like cloth material, had little white shoulder caps which were attached with shoe strings. Could get you seriously hurt. Name that chest protector model.

Hint: Once had an umpire school.

OK, since nobody is playing anymore, I'll just give the answer. I know y'all have been just a-dyin' to know.

George Barr.

First school for umpires. Horrible, yet strangely widely used chest protector.
