3 unusual facts about Mike DiMuro


Mike DiMuro

DiMuro co-founded an organization called Blue For Kids with fellow umpire Marvin Hudson in 2004.

Mike's twin brother Ray also worked occasional games as a substitute umpire in the AL from 1996 to 1999.

However, DiMuro was stunned by the casual acceptance of abuse toward umpires; after he ejected Chunichi Dragons hitter Yasuaki Taiho from a game for arguing balls and strikes, players swarmed him in protest and Taiho shoved him in the chest.
