And I'll disagree with you--even though I'm ignorant on baseball umpiring.
A good example is two friday nights ago our crew had a weird enforcement on a penalty in a varsity football game. Our WH knew the enforcement, our Umpire knew the enforcement, and the WH threw the flag. But they still called the rest of us in, and discussed it just to make sure we were ALL in agreement and ALL on the same page. Maybe it's different in baseball, but who knows. Even though these guys are the best umpires they can find--they're prone to making mistakes (see Tampa Bay v. Indianapolis MNF last year).
What other reason would they have for calling all six umpires together?
