Yes, as soon as PBUC reaches its 60th anniversary, I'll put it in the same class. Meanwhile, Doug Harvey, Jon Kibler, Ed, Paul, and Brian Runge, Mike DiMuro, and Mike Winters all came from this one association. I was speaking of its rich history, which PBUC does not share. PBUC cranks out pro umpires every year, which it finds from many associations and individuals worldwide. It's kind of just there, a depository for the talented umpires of the world. Nothing it has done on its own merits has earned any distinction.

I really meant nobody taking my jesting comments seriously. I am right about most umpiring issues. Apparently, I was more right than you about calling Time to clean the plate. Oh, well Garth, you can't be right all the time. And you can make fun of my dream of being a MLU all you want, but I was still a damn good umpire, and you dismissed me without even seeing my work, which was very ignorant of you. That is when I discovered you had an anal personality. Or are you just an a$shole?
