Nope, it's what I meant, the Fall League was to get the nextcoming skilled ballplayers additional field time. I would expect, I would hope, that it would be a proper training ground for the nextcoming MLB umps. The ones that I have known who have gone, that is what they were told. Wait, none of the made it to the ML level. Hmmm..
