Please!
Anyone on this forum ever spent any time with Bob D? He is great with us "amateur" umpires. Always ready to talk and help us. Sure he has a rep for the balk call but I've never seen a replay that proved his balk call incorrect.
Those that bad mouth Bob are, I'll bet, the same ones that bad mouthed Big John M before his untimely death. He was another that loved to talk plate mechanics with "amateur's". Did he have a wideeeee strike zone? You bet, but for both teams. Adjust!
Is Bob D the best umpire in major league baseball? Most of us would agree he isn't. But does he belong in the majors? D*** right!!
