Either this article should include references for what this umpire is best known (throwing gum on baseball fields) or it should be deleted as non-notable. It's now been covered by USA Today, the Los Angeles Times , Yahoo Sports , CBS Sports , Deadspin , and numerous blogs. It was also discussed during a recent televised baseball game in Arizona.

 * Keep The minor edit war over bubble gum does not impact the notability of this article. Escalating this to an AfD discussion does not help build consensus about whether to include the gum throwing incidents in the article. Jncraton (talk) 16:01, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
