he must have had this bad back for the last 15 years then.

He is a very good umpire and a great guy, he will certainly hang it up when the time is right. I have a hard time believing someone of his stature will hang around for 20 more years barely being able to run, etc.

I seriously doubt that McClelland has a worse back than I do, having degenerated vertebrae from L-2 to S-1 from a serious car wreck in 1981, but I have never let it affect my timing or hustle.

After games was always a different story (one of sheer agony, usually).
