vacation time
you work 8-10 years in the minors, going home maybe 2-4 days your entire careere. i think that MLB guys have paid there dues and deserve there vacation. when you factor in spring training and regular season, 4 weeks (which is pre-planned), is not that much to ask for. don;t forget either, there work week is 7 days, not 5 like the typical working person. finally, MLB doesn't want there umpires to be burn't out by the all-star break.
