In the real MLB #65 is Ted Barrett...that's not Ted Barrett. Those aren't ML umpires....those aren't even AAA umpires.

No kidding. I was using the picture to show the new color of the numbering on the MLB uniforms.

The point is, why do you think that those are ML uniforms?

The point is???

"Those aren't major league umpires"

[umpduck11]

What is this, Point/Counter Point ?

They both could have been.

Exactly. So why would one come to the conclusion that the major league umpire uniform had changed based on what non-ML umpires are wearing?

Wow.

My apologies to the posting community.

Damn, now I have to change the "364 days without a mistake" sign in my office.

Looks like this change is for MLB umpires also.

Say good night, Gracie.

Wow! I'm sorry I missed that!

Cory Snyder was a stud. And he had a cannon! He was a huge part of the 1984 USA Olympic baseball team. I was at every game they played. Other big-leaguers from that team: Bill Swift, Bobby Witt, Barry Larkin, Odibe McDowell, Shane Mack, Chris Gwynn, Flavio Alfaro, Gary Green, B.J. Surhoff, Will Clark, and a guy named Mark McGwire. Snyder shared right with Shane Mack, and he shared third base with McGwire. Mac's Olympic coach was Rod Dedeaux, who was also his college coach, and he had him play third with Snyder and first with Will Clark.

When Japan beat them 3-1, I hurled. Watching the wrong flag go up the flagpole and watching the wrong team jumping up and down on the medal platform made me as sick as any sight in baseball up until that point.

It is now expected to see a team of U.S. professionals get beat by virtually any international professional squad, because baseball's a team sport and U.S. All-Star teams don't play like a team. But back then, they were all in college, and they looked unbeatable at every workout and in every game leading up to the final. It was unreal.

Ozzy Guillen is a complete rat. Arguing in a spring training game for goodness sake!

And trying to kiss umpires to make up ... I mean, take that stuff inside!

How about Tony Gwynn instead of Chris Gwynn....

Saw a distance shot of what could be the new jackets. It was on SportsCenter this morning when they were talking about A-Rod. The field umpires were wearing them. No stripes over the shoulders, with the MLB patch on the left chest. There didn't seem to be any coloring on the cuffs and I didn't see any body piping, like the zip-off jacket. The jackets seemed to be similar looking to the ones that they wore many years ago (Split league era) in blue.

Could also be something else, and my eyes were tricking me this morning
