- Sports
"In two-thousand seventeen, a crack-commando umpire crew traveled the world umpiring baseball, and never once forgot to bring the drone.
"These men have survived questionable Airbnb's, White Cliffs, and rubber baseballs, from Taipei to the London Underground.
"Today, still ridiculed by armchair umpires, they somehow survive unscathed by 'Homer Announcers' worldwide.
"If you have a tournament, and the thought of traveling YouTube umpires blows your mind… maybe you can hire, The @LukeBrianTour."
