It looks very similar to the complex they always use. Well...at least the parking lot of the complex. He is talking out of his {insert favorite saying here}

I saw these before, but I forgot how great they are.

"This is a great field for Little League. There's no holes in the backstop. You could have the LLWS here."

But my favorite baseball video of all time is right here (watch out for the language):

YouTube - Earl Weaver

OK, I've gotteon hooked on this "How To Be A Baseball Umpire" series. Personally the funniest clip-

YouTube - How to Be a Baseball Umpire : Equipment for Baseball Umpires

at 1:30, "A very important thing, I can't show it to you, is a cup"...

how to be a Baseball Umpire by San Diego Steve.

I'm still trying to figure out why my name is associated with this garbage. I guess it was an attempt at humor, but I am not finding it funny. Here I thought I would see a very professional looking and speaking person in the video, such as a major league umpire, which would be much closer to how I would make such a video.

Now that's baseball they way it used to be. Love it! The umpire was just as good was Weaver was. Love it when he says "I aint going no where Earl", classic line...

Which is cooler, his velcro-closure hat worn backward, or the ultra-hip zip front shirt ?

Personally, I prefer "YOu're full of sh*t Earl, F*ck you." Umpiring at it's best.
