Get Healthy Soon, Umpires
1-liner, Baseball October 16th. 2009, 2:30pmWhy the Postseason Umpires Stink: “The quality of the umpiring has taken a hit because at least a dozen umpires, including seven crew chiefs, were left out of postseason assignments this year due to injuries … The sidelined umpires include crew chiefs John Hirschbeck (testicular cancer), Charlie Reliford (back), Jerry Crawford (back), Tim Welke (concussion), Ed Montague (concussion and neck), Gary Darling (ankle and foot) and Rick Reed (stroke).”[Fox Sports]

That’s like 250 years of umpiring experience that is on the DL. I hope Hirschbeck beats the cancer, he’s one of the best umpires in all baseball.
