Sorry to offended the Ed Montague fan club. I think he’s a fine umpire.
I have not seen too many guys wear the beanie, and I thought it was interesting so posted it for discussion. You are right he does pull it off with a don't screw with me look.

See JM that’s why it took me 3 years to start posting.

I agree that this is not a great look for any umpire. But for some reason there is a MLB logo on top of that hat, so it must be approved. It looks silly, but who cares. All that really matters is do you get the plays right and what you wear is ultimately up to you boss. None of us run MLB, so it is not our choice to say what should be worn. The next thing you will get mad because someone has white on their shoes.

Peace

I don't remember seeing him work the plate in a non-beanie style hat. His old picture on the MLB.com umpire section also had him in a beanie.

Preface: I wear a six-stitch behind the plate.

The last I knew, the official name for the hat Montague wears is a "Plate Hat." No other length of bill is referred to as a "Plate Hat." Everyone else is technically out of uniform.

I guess then you've never seen Ed Montague work the plate before. How odd.
