Yep..

Tee is correct. I think most of us only know a small percentage of what went on from now back to 1999 and before that. It had little to do with mechanics and balls and strikes and a lot to do with egos and legalities. I don't claim to know much about MLB umpiring but the little I do know suggests the job is as much about the business side of the game is it is about the on-field things.

We can all agree or disagree with what MLB and the umpires did. Truth is, unless we are on one of the sides, all we can do is comment. Both parties and the courts have finally hashed out an end to this thing.
