Hmmm,
"(Pro school twice? Not good enough the first time, eh? Sorry, you opened yourself up to that. I still love ya though.)"
I would be careful if I was you. I have written an entire column about my expereince and the fact is that both times I went to school I went AFTER telling them I did not want to go on into professional baseball. In fact, my second trip I was invited by Barney a few years after my first trip. :-]

"BTW, in my meager 28 years of umpiring, I don't have nearly as many ejections as you do. A little trigger happy, are you."
Again I wouldn't go somewhere that you have no idea what type of games I worked or what my talents (?) are.
As HHH calls it I was an "elephant hunter" during most of my career . . . plus one ejection every 10 games never seemed to be too exciting during my prime years.
Of course we didn't have to worry about ruining the physce of a college player.
We also didn't have to have group hugs with other umpires to "get the call right" -- (See my up coming column on this website -- "When gettin' it right, ain't").
I have made it clear what my view of the issue is -- I take care of my own business. I also mentioned HOW I would take care of this issue if I got "tired" of someone chipping at my partner.
-------------------------------------------------
BTW, I have three ejections in the last five years -- sad, I know but rats aren't made outta what theu used to be!!!
Love and Kisses,
