I was walking by the men's clothing department in a store today when the name Pants Rowland popped into my head and I started chuckling to myself. "Pants...ha!"

I'm embarrassed about that now. Here's a man who gave his entire life to baseball and all I could do is laugh at his silly nickname. Shame on me!

To atone, here's a picture of Pants in one of his many baseball guises: American League umpire.
