Your umpires Wednesday ...

And for 3-6 more games after that in the World Series will be:

  • John Montague
  • Laz Diaz
  • Ted Barrett
  • Chuck Meriwether
  • Mike Everitt
  • Mike Reilly

Baseball used just two umpires per game in the World Series from 1903 through the first three games of the 1909 World Series. Then after a disputed foul ball call in Game 2 of the 1909 World Series, two more umpires were added for Game 4 (they were already on hand as standbys), but they were placed on the foul lines. The six-man crew for the World Series became standard in 1947.

Meriwether behind the plate should make for a stupid game.

At least no Joe West sightings the rest of the year.
