PHOENIX -- As a professional umpire, Chad Fairchild makes plenty of tough calls on a daily basis. However on Tuesday morning, Fairchild had to make a different type of decision: Batman or Spiderman?
While Fairchild was visiting Phoenix Children's Hospital as part of an UMPS CARE Charities initiative, a young boy asked him to help dress up his new stuffed animal. Fairchild chose Batman.
Fairchild and fellow umpire Pat Hoberg, who are representatives of UMPS CARE Charities, and D-backs mascot Baxter spent the morning at the hospital passing out stuffed Build-A-Bear animals, while interacting with the patients and their families.
