Looks like a PONY patch, which means someone is actually paying this tool.

So true. All the LL leagues I had the opportunity early on in my career and chose not to do were paid leagues or tournaments.

Doesn't look like he's wearing any protective gear.

Anyways, he must have attended the Frank Drebin School of Umpiring.

He is clearly a graduate of the Cokalinksi Combine. We will be seeing him in the "Big Game" soon enough.

God Bless Him! If he can get paid for calling games like that, more power to him. He must be somewhere where the next closest umpire must be in another area code.

Isn't there a saying something like: "It's not the tool, it's the user?"

You know what the crazy thing is about this video...there are people in the stands that probably "love how clear he gives the signals" and lets people know what's going on. "He doesn't just stand there like the regular boring umps." I'm sure he gets positive feedback on his style from the crowd.

Bad part, his father is an umpire but he is wearing a catcher's protector. Makes you wonder if it's the chest protector his father uses.
