In Dave Hensley's absence, allow me to ask: Can you cite two instances in the last, oh, let's say 40 years,in any state, in which umpires were found, by a court, to be negligent or in any way at fault and held financially responsible for an injury?
Personally, I believe the scare tactics used on umpires regarding liability benefit only the insurance companies.
We can even look at from their point of view. Once they've scared you into taking out a policy, how do they set the rates? Normally by either historical evidence or predicted future occurances. Since their rates are incredibly low for the dollar amount of "coverage", what does that tell us about their assumption that they'll ever have to pay out?
