I don't.

I know umpires who dress great, read the rule book, go to their associations mechanics sessions, are prideful of their efforts and suck. In fact, I think I saw a couple of those at LLWS.

I liken it to music. One can buy a great tux, take lessons, practice like hell, be proud of their efforts and play like crap. Some where along the line there has to be a place for ability, talent, skill, whatever you want to call it.
