People Who Live in Glass Houses.......

What are there, about 65 full time MLB Umpires? These men have rosen to the pinnacle of their profession. They perform in front of thousands of people every night. Nobody at the game wears their number or chants their name (unless its followed by YOU @#$%!) They aren't robots or machines, maybe some are long in the tooth. The bottom line is that it's harder to get to the majors as an umpire than as a player. Give them their due, watch them work and then go work some games. BTW, my personal favorite is Ed Rapuano.
