I could see Everett taking the opposite view as well "HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE THE FAIR MAN DOING HIS JOB JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A GAMBLING FIEND AND BET ON THE WRONG TEAM?!"
Hall of Famer Whitey Ford on the field… pleading with the crowd for some kind of sanity. Uh-oh. And a barrage of pretzels now knocking Whitey unconscious. This is a black day for baseball.

That's an umpire, not a ref.
I don't know why they have a different name.

Wikipedia says the position of umpire is "analogous to that of a referee in many other sports."

Masks and padding?

That's just the home plate umpire. The base umpires don't have padding and masks.

I bet when E-Tru goes to sporting events, they have an entrance song ready for him.
"...AND IT'S EVERETT TRUE WITH A BASEBALL BAT!!!" (cue "Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture")
