That writer should get the Pulitzer Prize. Many years ago, mid-70s, our LL finally had some new board members who agreed that another qualified ump and myself would train umpires for the Minor Division. The Major managers and coaches were required to work one game in the first and second halves of the season. We also had some Sr. Division players who had volunteered. Early in the second half, one of the Major managers said to me, "Bob, I'll never b***h about another umpire again. I didn't realize how hard it is".
