Of course the National Anthem Standoff. Funny or not funny to him?
The growing trend of players walking away while addressing magic words to the umpire. When umpire ejects the player, he acts like the umpire shot his puppy while announcers scream, "HE WAS WALKING AWAY!" Why is it important to eject when a player is saying magic words to the umpire while the player is walking away? Is there a way to curb this action, or at least educate the fans and public that this is a chicken move?
How does an umpire prepare for a WS plate assignment? How did he keep himself emotionally under control and focused on the job at hand?
Were there times during an argument or ejection where the manager or player was saying such ridiculous or funny things that he had to keep himself from laughing?

Greg wore the hockey mask for a solid chunk of his career before reverting back to the traditional mask. Curious as to which style he thinks is more protective in this current era of concussion safety.
