Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde....
WTF?
Everytime you get the hairs on the back of my neck to just about stand straight up (What I learned this week (Part 1)), you come up with a post like this and I have to respect you all over again.
1. You practice what you preach. When I work with a new umpire, I always mention in our private pre-game that I will NEVER overturn his calls, and he will NEVER overturn mine. We may meet and discuss new information provided by a partner, but the ump that started making the call, finishes making the call, period. And, help must be solicited and not offered, especially publicly on the field, without solicitation. Part of my training on this point has come directly from you and the sharing of your experiences.
2. You showed the utmost respect to a senior umpire that deserves it...maybe not this game, but because of his work during his long career in umpiring. That (I can't believe I'm saying this to Tee) took a lot of humility.
