He wore uniform number 24 in the NL, but when MLB merged the AL and NL umpiring staffs in 2000, Layne was forced to switch to number 26, as AL umpire Al Clark, who also wore 24, had more seniority.

With the retirements of Joe West and Gerry Davis, Layne became MLB's most senior active umpire for the 2022 season.
