I watched part of the game last night.
I don't know this Bruce guy personally, so I have nothing against "him", but...
Now that he has reached his milestone, he needs to go bye-bye.
He is in no shape to be working as an official in any sport other than Arm Wrestling.
He is basically calling pitches standing up, because he can't get down. Good thing he is short.
I'm sorry, but there are too many good umpires trying to work their way up that have respect for themselves, the game, and the job. If umpiring weren't a "Tenure" position, we would have a lot better umpires in the MLB.
And just for the record, I feel the same for people in positions of protecting public safety (Police, Fire, EMT, etc.), or where physical conditioning is a requirement of the job you are doing.
Oh, and don't get me started on the theory of "Tenure" !
