Not one had a favorable comment.

I've read their books also and the ones that I've read all had very amusing stories to tell about managers who went off the deep end.
I know what you are saying, its no fun to be made fun of, but bottomline is that we as umpires, "that's what we do".
We're big enough and thick skinned enough to do the job in spite of the idiot managers at all levels that we face.
Where would we be as umpires without the stories that we have to tell, and most all of the good stories revolve around ... that's right an ejection of a coach.
Sure we all complain about it, me included, but its who we are.
At least that's the way I see it.
