That was SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. Are you going to live (and brag) about that ONE critique, forever?

No, but thanks for asking. That certainly isn't the only one, it was and example, and for the sake of brevity, I only included one. I know that nobody wants to hear someone's life story here, God knows that would be rather boring, now wouldn't it? I could have listed a resume, but that would be tacky, huh?
I was called out, and ridiculed, for my opinion on the subject of who's as good as the big leaguers. I could provide much more background. Suffice to say that I work baseball in an area that provides many of the star ballplayers of today, and I have umpired over 35 current, and former major league players, worked many wood-bat leagues with former major league players, and have a vast amount of experience with top level athletes. So, yeah, I could probably step in in a pinch if necessary! People can laugh, or whatever, it's all good.
Does everybody here worship the ground the pros walk on?
It seems like everyone's afraid to say anything at all negative about them. Just about their peers, I guess.
Now, I know the major league umps have much more top level experience, obviously. But it doesn't mean that all of them are "better" umpires.
