The Major League Baseball Umpires Association announced they will be holding weekly Q&A sessions through their official Facebook page, beginning Sept 6.
Every Friday, fans can send their most difficult baseball-related questions via direct message. A group of umpires will then select their three favorite submissions and respond to them over the following week.
The NBA experimented with a similar concept during the 2018-19 playoffs, when referees responded to fans’ questions and comments on Twitter under the #RefWatchParty hashtag.
The weekly series will allow fans a unique opportunity to be more interactive with some of MLB’s most notable umpires.
