Baba Booey is correct....

at least on one of the umpires chosen. Tom Hallion of Louisville, KY.

Article from the Louisville Courier-Journal this morning:

A return to his calling | courier-journal | The Courier-Journal

I worked an NAIA college scrimmage this past Sunday in Louisville. At the plate meeting the coach of the college, Spalding U., mentioned that the day or evening before the paper had been out taking pictures of a local umpire who called MLB and that this umpire had been chosen to work the World Series. He did not remember the name. I thought he was talking about Paul Nauert as he is really from Louisville. Hallion moved there sometime during his umpiring career. The story on Hallion is touching as he was let go and not re-signed back in 1999. He worked his way back beginning in 2003.
