That someone isn't Drake. It is C.B. Bucknor. I've worked with an umpire whose son umpired in the big leagues. He said C.B. is among the worst he's ever worked with.

Any particular reason or just jumping on the SI player poll's bandwagon?

I have a hard time imagining an umpire could make it to the show and be "among the worst" any particular umpire has ever worked with.

I once talked to a friend's brother's cousin who once knew a player who talked to a guy in the bigs who thought someone was wrong on the Internets.

Let's not forget the chump I taunted from the two dollar seats.



We even unfurled a banner that read "Smash your balls, against the walls, Larry Stahl". Gee, he was awful. And yes I was there when Preston Gomez pulled the plug on the no-hitter. But, hey, we had the Chicken, and the Dodgers and Jigantes didn't.
