Regardless of how many years you cover baseball, you see things you've never seen before. Take today, for instance. I was in the Brewers' clubhouse, catching up with Newark native Kevin Mench and Hockessin resident Tony Graffanino, when I spotted four pieces of paper taped to the wall. Each paper profiled a member of the umpiring crew, including the umps' names, how many years they've been in the majors, where they went to college and their hobbies.Thanks to the Brewers' intelligence, I now know that tonight's plate umpire, Larry Vanover, is a 13-year veteran who attended the University of Kentucky's College of Architecture and enjoys golfing and fishing. I wonder if any of that came up in the fourth inning during a furious shouting match after he ejected Brewers manager Ned Yost.
Very weird.
Speaking of umps, this has to be one of the funniest movie scenes ever.
