Food for thought...

Anyone recall which replacement umpires were hired by MLB when their umpires went on strike? I'm pretty certain that they were happy to prove themselves and realized that by accepting the opportunity to fill in, they would make the transition tougher. Yet, they still were allowed to don the AL and NL with pride. It seems that the MiLB guys might need to learn a thing about professionalism as well as business negotiation.
