I decided a little while ago that I had my eyes on a HSM in fact it was the one Gary Cederstrom was wearing which was a titanium HSM mask with a matte finish which isn't sold anywhere. After contacting Jim Kirk I found out that the only way I could get it was to try and get it right off Cederstrom does anyone know how to contact him?

Run on the field during a game. In Philadelphia. I've heard that works out well for people.

I'm afraid that just Jim's polite way of calling you an idiot. Others here won't be so polite, so expect to get bashed for being, um, odd.

If you're serious about this, you gotta know that other umpires are making fun of your preoccupation with the MLB guys. Not just on here, but the guys you work with. It's kinda odd. I've met a few of these guys, and they're just regular Joes. No rocket scientists out there, trust me.

If you're just going for a laugh, you need to find a different hobby, 'cause you're just not that good at it.

Cederstrom will be one of the instructors at the MLB camp in November.

Here's how you get there: Take any freeway, get off at the Wilmington off ramp, turn right and go 97 miles to the fork in the road. You don't want to go east; you want to go west. Go west, and go 97 miles 'til you come to a Standard station. Drive in that Standard station, walk up to the man and say, "Where the hell am I?"

Does anyone know the EXACT brand of ink pen MLB Umpire Tim Welke had in his pocket for Game #1 of the ALCS tonight??

Once, when Yogi was asked to explain this quote's curious logic, he said, "... The rest is physical." That's where the physical part evidently came from.

Awesome. Best post ever.

Classy response from Jim there. Contact the MLB front office and ask for his email address. :)

If you got his home address from MLB, you could drive there yourself and pick it up. That would be SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

Relax. Don't worry about everyone breaking your stones.

Kevin is "right on" if you would like to meet Gary in person one on one.

In the event you cannot go as Kevin suggested, the second alternative would be to contact the MLB office as Nate suggested. Due to security, do not expect MLB or HR to give you any contact information whatsoever. The best you can hope for probably, is that they pass your request to Cederstrom and for Cederstrom to contact you. Make sure you leave all possible ways to contact you personally. There is definitely someone at MLB that could step in and help you without contacting Cederstrom since this would probably get forwarded to people under Baseball Operations of which Joe Torre is responsible. Randy Marsh is director of umpiring and could easily answer your question as could Rich Rieker who runs the camps Kevin was talking about. They could get an answer for you, since, as former umpires they probably keep up with the equipment.

Just googling around, here is another alternative.

A third alternative is to contact the World Umpires Association. The address is PO Box 394, Neenah, WI 54954. You can go online to www.worldumpires.com and contact them by email. Once again, do not be expecting a direct contact with Cederstrom. They can pass along your information to him and leave it up to him to contact you. They may just find out the information for you by contacting Cederstrom and then passing the information to you.

Good luck.

Actually I am starting to enjoy John's Posts. It gets us going with creative answers and I get a good laugh! Keep it up John! :shakehead:

This is just to funny!

Either a highly sophisticated intelligent person or a real Duma$$

I am leaning for the second option.

Who says it's stupid? I'm serious, I want you to run on the field so we can watch what happens. It won't be stupid, it will be funny.

Do you know how to contact the MLB office? Can you please give me their website or email?
