Yes, there is a proper way to enter the field for the pregame meeting - and other things real umpires do before that meeting occurs.

So, Jim, what is the f'n point? If it is solely to demean Mike, well, I again refer to Ball Four and the anatomically impossible act described by bouton et al.

I'm not saying Mike or anyone else - even me - is always 100% correct on every thing. I don't always agree with everything everyone says.

But I and many others will not abide personal demeaning attacks on Mike. He has the credentials, the knowledge and the ability. He is a proven entity.

Then, of course, so are you - just in a different, horrible way.

Well I am sure glad you followed your own advice and refrained from demeaning attacks.
