I realize that it was a crew. I'm just surprised that you all appear to be taking this as a WOBW. It's not as if I'm trying to meet the President of the United States. Gee whiz, people.

I don't know what a WOBW is. I do know that most of us don't care where the MLB guys are, whether vacation or what. Sometimes I look at the box scores to see who worked what games. I don't get the high level of interest some have with this trivial stuff.

WOBW= Waste Of BandWidth.

And, imo, this thread is a prime example.

[UMP25]

I concur wholeheartedly. Besides, why must someone know this information? Do we have an obsessive MLB Umpire stalker in our midst?

Perhaps one of the wierdos responsible for this site?

Brian Gorman (assigned to another crew)
Ed Montague
Mike DiMuro
John Hirschbeck
Larry Young
Bill Hohn
Sam Holbrook
Wally Bell
Jeff Nelson
Mark Carlson
Bill Welke (assigned to another crew)
Angel Hernandez
Tony Randazzo
Lazaro Díaz
Ted Barrett
Alfonso Marquez (assigned to another crew)
Jim Wolf
Paul Nauert (assigned to another crew)

Any idea what's up with any of these guys? Any info on ETA's for returns to the field for any of them?

It appears we might be seeing Mike DiMuro and/or Bill Hohn back soon. They've been assigned to the last couple of crews working home games for the Iowa Cubs (AAA). I guess it's almost like a MLB rehab assignment. Has this ever happened before? It's pretty cool, either way, I think. I wonder if they wear PCL/IL or their regular MLB uniforms when they rehab?

Yours is not the only opinion of this sort, Bob.

I'm still trying to figure out what "UPDATED" means.

Try that it means I've just made the list current as of the date listed.

[UMP25]

OK, thanks! You have NO idea how we were waiting for this. The anticipation was just killing us.

[RPatrino]

Goyanksgonj, you got any money riding on which ump works which games? You might be better off bird doggin the NBA guys.
