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.

Ha I like you and I don't even know you....Ed and Mark Wegner are my two favorites...personally, the only umpire I truly do not like is Joe West. I don't particulary like CB Bucknor either, but I'm not one to complain about the job they're doing.
And BTW, there are 68 full-time MLB umpires.
