Moronic thing to do

Stupid thing to do, for the reasons cited by the announcers.

Having said that, there are 10 times the number of people in the US than in Canada.

Therefore, 10 times the number of morons, 10...

people either get it or they don't

Haller, Wolf, whatever....

The good officials call them as they are.

They'd ring their own mother up on strikes.

The bad ones couldn't umpire a bake sale.

Simple as that.

The Runge's

While they never had a chance to work together, it's pretty impressive (at least to me) that 3 generations of Runge made it as ML umpires (Ed, Paul, Brian).

Other impressive officiating families -...

he hardlly looks like he's ever worn a jock

Not sure if he ever played but if he did, then by definition he's a rat.

If he didn't, then he's a nobody.

The ones sold on the Titanium are the 2-tone (tan inside, black outside) wrap-arounds.

I replaced the 2-tones on mine with all black (just a personal preference), plus the fact that the 2-tone...

Hat rack

When I was playing baseball in HS (30+ years ago), I was a catcher and had begun umpiring little league by then. So I used to pay closer attention to the umpires than my team mates.

Dangler on the Titanium?

For those who have the Wilson Titanium, did you add a dangler? Looks like the cowcatcher on it is about 1/2 shorter (or, perhaps due to it sticking out more toward the front) than the previous...

I've had the Diamond ultra light weight mask. The frame is great; the pads are cheap - so you'll want to replace them.
