According to <b><i><a href="http://majorleagueumpires.com" target="_blank">majorleagueumpires.com</a></b></i>, Davidson wasn't on the 'roster' of umpires in 2005.  So techinically, he WAS an MLB umpire, but isn't anymore.

Not that it means anything.  He IS American and that is what people are using as the issue.

I'm sorry.  The guy made a crap call...doesn't mean he did it on purpose.
