One of my pet peeves, umpires who want to umpire but really don't give a damn about their appearance nor about the profession. All they want is the check. Of course, these are also the ones who tend to get grief on the close calls, but still, that is no payback for the damage they do to all of us who enjoy the avocation of umpiring. If they just want extra money, and don't care about their appearance, why don't they just get one of those "pity" signs (you know, like "car broke down, no work, home burnt in really bad flood so I need you to part with some of your hard earned money so I can feed the family" type deals), and go stand on the street corner?!
