38 degrees in Chicago; but!

You wouldn't know it by watching Home Plate Umpire Doug [ Mullet] Eddings] call balls and strikes in his black short sleeve shirt.

WTF Does Eddings have a battery operated heater under his chest protector?

He sure was bundled up at first base last night.[ Jacket, Gloves, hood over his face like he gonna rob a bank]


Colder in Chicago today than it was Friday Night!

LOL! You love those other uniforms.

I moved this to whatever since it isn't really discussing the Tigers, but rather the umps.

it's his natural padding keeping him warm!

Thanks; I meant to post it here in the first place but I was reading stuff in the other thread catergory.

And posted it before I realized my mistake!

Too bad it won't be 38 at Comerica Park on Monday and Tuesday!


54 on Monday; 59 on Tuesday!

Phil Cuzzi had on the light blue shirt when he tossed Ozzie Guillen last week


Cuzzi is now one of my favorite umps!

Something like that Laprimamirala; I found it odd Eddings was bundled up at first base [ last night] and wearing short sleeves the next day; even though it was colder than the night before

I am probably the only person that noticed that !

I still like Tim McLelland the best. I love his delayed call because it pisses everyone off.

I liked the guy in Spring Training behind home plate at Lakeland. Man, you could hear his call where we were...no mike needed!

McClelland wore an old school coat behind the plate the other day!


All Umpires should wear them; Instead of base umpires wearing jackets or Home plate Umpires wearing those long sleeve black shirts and the base umpires wearing jackets.

They have short sleeve jackets too!


Other day in Washington; the base umps were wearing them.

Look like softball umps

just keep the body protected is all that matters to me....no need to have anybody dyin' out there!

And to think MLB finally made base coaches wear helmets;


After wearing caps the last 107 years in the AL and going back to the 1800s for the NL

Selig finally got something right!

Let's count how many things he has done right!

One!

and that would be?
