Rob D.Kerwin Danley was an umpire in the Texas League when I played there in the late 1980s. It was pretty well known around the league that he was on the fast track to the big leagues. The thing was, he wasn't considered -- at least by players and managers -- to be among even the top five umpires in the league. But he had good "size" and "mechanics." Trouble was, he just made a lot of bad calls and often was indecisive -- the kiss of death for umpires.
Danley was behind the plate in Game 2 of this Series. He's the one who literally made the signal for a called third strike, and then for some reason appealed to the first-base umpire on whether the batter had swung. The pitch ended up being a ball.
I laughed out loud. Twenty years later, same old story.
