Re: Eric Gregg Dies
Go back and re-watch Tom Glavine pitch from 1991-98.
I'll never argue that there wasn't an unbelievably wide strike zone in that game and every other game Gregg umpired.
For Braves fans to whine about it is the ultimate irony to me. It's like Canseco talking about how the game has been sullied by steroids.
FWIW, I would prefer an umpire like Gregg who would treat every team the same. Have the same strike zone every game, for every pitcher. And would let you argue if you thought he was wrong. Better than guys like Dan Iassogna,Angel Hernandez,Derryl Cousins,Larry Vanover and Joe West. Who have never been wrong, just ask them and god for bid if you look unhappy at them. They'll squeaze you if your a pitcher they don't like and if your a hitter they don't like you best be swinging.
