For Game 6, the notoriously incompetent Joe Brinkman was behind home plate. You can read about his horrific career as an umpire below
MLB was quietly so appalled by how the 1995 World Series had been called that they brought the umpires under one controlling body, began instituting replay, and fired a bunch of the most incompetent. Unhappily, Joe West, as one of the most corrupt, bribeable, and showboatiest umpires in the game, did not get cut. An Atlanta Brave favorite.

Brinkman, the same man who called Tom Glavine's strike zone and determined it was properly 26 feet wide, was also responsible for the notorious George Brett pine tar incident in 1983, which resulted in MLB apologizing to George Brett and never assigning Brinkman to a Royals game ever again.
AA and Wiz defend Brinkman as one of the finest men to ever stride the earth, for they have no decency, no morals, and partake in Canadian Whiskey.

You’d think with as much practice as the GuardIndians have at losing, they’d be more gracious.
I was at Game 6, funny enough. I went to all the home games (1,2, &6).
What I remember about that game was nobody was hitting. Save a lone dinger by Justice. The strike zone probably was generous to pitchers, but it was generous to the bums Cleveland put on the mound, too. And if not for the blown plate call In game 3 (4?), it would have never gone to 6 to begin with.
Meh. Cleveland fans crying over the umps. Happened in their last WS disaster, too. It’s unseemly."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

I'm down with the Fighting Nobody Gets Their Overly Fragile Feelings Hurt. My first choice was the Fighting Honkies, but I realized the minority members of the team might be offended by being associated with white people.I don't watch Fox News for the same reason I don't eat out of a toilet.
