Maybe Jeff could refresh Chris' memory.
I fully support the MiLB umpires' goals and demands, but I am disappointed in their rush to use the actions of this a-hole as something caused by a replacement umpire. I don't know who is advising their PR staff, but whoever it is should be fired. The AMLU should be leading by example.

ESPN on Baseball Tonight was covering the escapades of Young the last few years and its not a pretty site.
The Devil Rays now say they are going to get some counsel for his "anger management problem".
Trying to cover up a "bad apple" who has lots of talent but no values.
