Gregg takes leave of
absence to lose weight
The 325-pound umpire said he has been
influenced by the death of John McSherry
NEW YORK (AP) — Reacting
to the death of John McSherry,
baseball officials gave a leave of
absence to umpire Eric Gregg on
Monday so he can lose weight
and get in shape.
Gregg, listed at 325 pounds
but visibly heavier, has long
been an example used by critics
of overweight umpires. The deci
sion to give him a leave was
made following a Sunday night
meeting among AL president
Gene Budig, NL president Len
Coleman and umpires union
head Richie Phillips.
“In light of recent events, I
feel this is the right time to take
a serious look at my weight and
conditioning,” said Gregg, an NL
umpire since 1975. “My goal is
to be a major league umpire for
many years to come, and to ac
complish that I need to take a
closer look at my overall health.”
During Sunday night’s meet
ing, Phillips asked for training
machines such as treadmills and
Stairmasters to be installed for
umpires at each major league
ballpark. He also would like um
pires to remain in a single city
each week, rather than rotate af
ter every series.
“It was extremely construt
tive and far ranging,” Colemai
said in St. Louis before the Cat
dinals’ opener. “We will be meat
ing again shortly.”
McSherry, whose weight had
gone up to nearly 400 pounds at
times, had a heart attack and
collapsed behind home plateon
April 1 seven pitches into tbe
season opener in Cincinnati.
He died about an hour later,
Baseball officials have
pushed for weight restrictions,
but the umpires’ associatiot
has resisted.
Gregg also took a leave of ab
sence from April 4-May 23,1990,
and league officials sent himtoa
weight-loss program at Duke.
“It is in his best interest and
the best interest of his family to
take this constructive action for
his health,” Coleman said.
Phillips could not immediate
ly be reached.
Also, the NL chose Ed Mi-
tague to replace McSherry asi
crew chief. Montague, 47, spoke
at a memorial service forMcSk-
erry last Friday.
He became a regular NL um
pire in 1976, and umpired in the
World Series in 1986 and 1991.
