Laz would have fun at a  funeral.

[DVA7130]

I almost want to say something about professionalism

But hell looked fun and made me laugh, no worries.

[BigUmpire]

Baseball is lucky to have PEOPLE like Laz in it.

[JaxRolo]

This is good to see.

[RichMSN]

I agree.  It's great to see.

What would you like to say, that maybe he wasnt being professional in between innings...what about when the mascot comes out and does the eye test on the umpires? is that unprofessional?

 

Dude you have to have fun out there.. just learn when to do it.

Someone missed the meaning

[Haid D' Salaami]

well your 1st sentence said...I was going to say something about professionalism....

[rjt6]

How is it unprofessional? It's just HAVING FUN

[Stan W.]

I'M not unhappy to see it, but I think the comment that may be in some peoples minds might be that what our MLB brothers can get away with might not be considered professional at our levels......plus i cant dance as good as Laz!   

[SJA]

I think it showed the "fun / human" side of AN UMPIRE rather the "stone cold hard SOB side" of what many people think umps are.

SJA :-)

[BigUmpire]

Went one of Laz's clinics. Great fun. Worth twice the price.

BUT this may be the toughest umpire in MLB.

Not a person to get physical with.

@Rulekeep - I'm really not sure what the word "Lest" means.

Look at the still of Laz greeting the Army guy. His cover is squared away and he still looks like a Marine. Ooh-rah

[Jocko]

Aren't most of these skits and antics prearranged?

[Rulekeep]

Some are, not most. One time Jerry Layne pretended to punch the Phanatic and he got booed.

[Haid D' Salaami]

No.. not that the MLB level...

[ricka56]

Wonder what Laz would do if they played the Harlem Shuffle between innings.

[Rulekeep]

[Jocko]

He meant the Curly Shuffle
