Baring special family functions, I find that hilarious. If I ran MLB, they'd have to have a dang good reason to ask for a vacation.

Remember, I am talking about Vacation time here. Not time off for Injury, Family Emergency, or other Health related issues.

MLB Vacation = Time away from work/umpiring to relax.

Our Vacation = Time away from work to umpire/relax.

I guess it's all a matter of "Point of View".

They are salaried employees and their vacation time is part of their contract. I'm guessing that you don't travel for work, Nick. I do, and it is tedious beyond belief at times. And I get to come home at least every weekend.
