paragraph needing source[edit]

Moved from Jim McKean

McKean began his career wearing the "balloon" style outside chest protector worn by all AL umpires at the time. In 1979, he switched to the inside protector and wore it with his red blazer in game 5 of the 1979 World Series, becoming the lone AL umpire to pair the red blazer with an inside protector in a World Series game. The AL returned to navy blue blazers beginning in 1980.^{[citation needed]}

The para above was removed from the section "on the field" by @DannyS712: (diff) for lack of reliable sources. If some other editor is able to find the sources, they are welcome to re-add it back to the article. --DBig Xrayᗙ 18:46, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
