| » July 22, 1996: Toronto's Erik Hanson walks Cleveland's Jim Thome without throwing a 4th ball. With the count 2-2 the pitch is wide and Thome jogs to 1B. Ump Mike Everitt, a fill-in from the PCL, had incorrectly called the count 3–2 before the pitch, and Thome, who knew better, didn't correct him. The next batter Albert Belle hits a 3-run double for a 4-2 win.
» February 23, 2001: In what is believed to be a first of its kind test, umpire Mike Everitt meets with the Milwaukee Brewers to test out baseball's new strike zone.
