As far as why people work certain levels of ball and the playoffs is a whole other topic in its self. However, seen the information that was given I see where you all are coming from.
BTW, that the major league umpire I mentioned before has no problem voicing his displeasure of his fellow MLB umpires. I have known this umpire for a while now, because I went to college in his home town. But at the World Series in Canton, MI that I mentioned in a previous reply....one umpire asked him if there was anybody currently on the Major League Staff of Umpires that he did not like?
This particular umpire that I know wasted no time in voicing his disapproval of a some selected umpires he did not enjoy working with. I will not mention the names that he mentioned in respect of protecting privacy, but he did refer to a few he did not like.
P.S- To protect these guy's privacy guys, if we are going to talk about something we feel that they did wrong, let us refer to them by position. I know have not done a good job of this lately, but I think it would be the more proper thing to do from now on.
