Decline in popularity? I believe the Majors and Minors both set new attendance record.
As for the umpires. Unfortunately, the great unwashed American baseball fan believes the "Boobs in the Booth" know more about the rules than the umpires. If the commentatators took a rules test, I doubt if any would score higher than 10%. None that I've ever heard knows what a "foul Tip" is. My favorites are, "The umpire was hit by the foul tip", and "The foul tip went all the way to the backstop". Even Vin Scully, who's been announcing for over 50 years, doesn't know.
