Hooray!

My, isn't your association a little anal retentive. Someone pass me a bag of seeds, please (but only if I'm working the bases).

Rich: With such an attitude, we wouldn't certify you in our association.
Our umpires, about 120, overwhelmingly supported the ban - in a vote. We think chewing seeds on the field is the ultimate in non-professionalism.
"You're out!! Oops, sorry about the seeds, man."

I wouldn't want to work in your association, but you already knew that. I eat seeds about once a year. This year it was in the Netherlands a few weeks ago when it was de rigeur to be handed a bag on the way out to work the bases.
Why are you people so freaking uptight, anyway? And actually, I find this funny coming from a guy who would wear long-sleeved UnderArmour under a short sleeved uniform shirt. Talk about unprofessional....
