Salute This Man

[QUOTE=bob jenkins][QUOTE=canadaump6]This story has to be a joke.

What leads you to say that? The Chicago Tribune isn't exactly The Onion.

I don't mean to criticize or insult, but from looking at the pictures it is hard to believe this man could be taken seriously:

*No umpire's uniform
*Wearing shorts
*Chest protector and shin guards on the outside
*Leans against the backstop to make his calls
