Re: Eric Gregg Dies
No, just the opposite. The whole thing about the 1997 NLCS fiasco was that it was such a shock how he was calling pitches. To be a pitcher's ump, to have that reputation, is one thing. But the thing that stands out to me was the disbelief in how pitches that were closer to pitch-outs were being called strikes. It was unreal. It caused MLB baseball to go with the pitch machines to evaluate pitchers a few years later. He deserved everything he got for that game.
