I loved the old button-ups. Still have a couple in the wardrobe, hoping to pull them out one day for a special occasion.

When properly maintained and ironed with a sharp crease on the sleeve, they really looked sharp. Call me old-fashioned, but I think professionalism took a step back when we went with the pullovers. Kinda like casual day at work.

Uniform stores still sell them as they are USPS required uniform.
I recall a rookie umpire wearing his new Elbeco shirt not realizing they are very sheer. His choice of undershirt had the slogan "Sh*t Happens" on the back. (without the *)

Cliff Clavin is a legend, but I'm afraid he'd be the ultimate Smitty.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.’

You can just imagine some of the interpretations he'd come up with on the ball field!
