The umpires from the other countries will make guys like Angel Hernandez & Bill Hohn look great
Just kidding. In all seriousness, maybe U.S. players will realize that MLB does have the best umpires in the world.
I want to mention that I went to umpire school with some great umpires from Japan. They barely spoke our language yet did extremely well, even in the classroom. I don't want to knock officials from other countries - I just think we have better access to the best training available. Just my opinion
