The personification of baseball

Just ask him.

Hey, somebody needed to teach the White Sox the balk rule!

If Joe West could fit into a pair of shorts...

....well there is your solution right there!

I know there are no balks in soccer but he could easily transition over.

He would do it. There is a worldwide market for country music records, you know.

Country music fans don't appear to be very image conscious

How many records has he sold anyway?

Is Kenny Chesney shaking in his boots or what?

Game delayed due to umpires

AP reports that the Pirates/Reds game yesterday did not start on time because Joe West and his umpiring crew were late to take the field.

Of course, Joe West just recently complained about the slow pace of games involving the Yankees and Red Sox calling it a "disgrace to baseball".

You can't make this stuff up.
