You say that it was bad on the umpire's part to bring it up two years later...but is it possible that he brought it up because he knew you were an umpire? In otherwords is it possible that he would have forgotten all about the incident if you were just a "fan"...but because you are an umpire he remembered it for all those months?
Frankly, I have no sympathy at all for you. You did deserve it. As President of my association, if an umpire called me and told me that another association member yelled at him on the field...there would be serious consequences. To me, that's as egregious a "sin" as any in the umpiring profession.
I have (and will again, I'm sure) reemed out members of the association for yelling at umpires while attending a game as a fan. That behavior is remembered by me for a long time...especially when its time to send names to the state office for playoff games.
