My, my. I do believe I got my names mixed up. But you are helping make the point that nepotism is alive and well in MLB. It is generally this way in the real world though. My grandfather was a plumber, my dad was a plumber, I could have been a plumber.

Actually the DiMuro brothers received no assistance whatsoever from their father, as he had died years before they became umpires. I've worked games with both, and they were the real deal right off the bat.

I went to umpire school with Ray. Nice guy. It is a fraternity. You take care of your own.
