MLB Umpire Tim Timmons

I am watching the Sox-Yankees game on ESPN and I am wondering what Home Plate Umpire is wearing on his Right Arm around his wrist?

It is black and is not a watch.

Does anyone else know what it is?

Thanks
Dally

I see it. I don't know what it is, and don't care much.

Maybe he got it on vacation.

Wow! Why does everyone care so much what the Big Dogs wear? Are we becoming Fashion Conscious? Steve, you and I could care less what the Big Dogs wear - we are more interested as to how they work and make calls!

Tim Timmons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Timothy Forbes Timmons (born December 30, 1967 in Columbus, Ohio) is an umpire in Major League Baseball who has worked throughout both leagues since 2000 after debuting in the National League in late 1999. His crew for 2007 includes Alfonso Márquez, Rick Reed, and Chuck Meriwether. He is known for a loud, emphatic high-pitched strike call, which he will cross his body to call a strike on a left-handed batter, and is very dramatic behind the plate with his body actions.[citation needed]

He is also notable for wearing a black band on his right wrist

(Doesnt say why)

Huh.

Looks like someone took Ozzy's advice and paid attention to what he does on the field.

Has anyone tried one of the Phiten bracelets or necklaces? I see a lot of guys wearing them and wonder if they work.
