I hear this argument about all post season play opportunities. Horse pucky!
Post season has the best teams, the best players, the best coaches. They didn't get to post season becuase they played the most games or had perfect attendance or were really nice guys. They earned their way there by their performance on the field. They deserve umpires who did likewise.
If you need to reward somebody for covering games, give him a gift certificate for dinner, a good citizenship award, or buy him a watch.
