I wonder if they're allowed to get endorsement deals with gear makers now. These guys have been wearing Reebok shoes and Wilson gear on TV, and have not seen one thin dime. They even have to black out the Nike logo on their masks, but weren't getting paid for wearing the Wilson stuff. One MLB umpire I spoke to earlier this year was hoping they could go out on their own and get deals. For now, it's just free gear, which is stupid.
