Great episode guys! As a life long Torontonian, I'd love to hear some Toronto stories! I recall Jim giving an interview to the Toronto Star about the life of an umpire. In the article, he mentioned that he hadn't had an ejection in a very long time. The next day, he turfed (I believe) Joe Carter. But I'd love to hear about working at the old Exhibition Stadium vs. SkyDome (us natives still call it SkyDome). Thanks!!
FYI, the housing project in Chicago to which you refer, the one across the Dan Ryan Expressway from Comisky Park was "The Robert Taylor Homes". Cabrini Green was on the near North side on North Ave. Both projects have been demolished long since.
Another thing: That story that jimmy told about Al Clark having the beer thrown on him is priceless. Maybe you could get Al on the show with Dale and Jim one of these days.
