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?!"

although he has been gambling in the past

Everette would’ve loved online sports betting

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."

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")

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.
