Nothing new here. I agree with Froemming. It isn't the point that umpires are noticed, but what caused them to be noticed. A sports official is part of the game and his presence is required. I've met many people who extol the point an umpire isn't noticed. I've also seen these same umpires ignore calls to maintain that status. That is neither good for the umpire or the game.

Something tells me we work from very similar playbooks.
Speaking of playbooks, time to put the knickers and white hat on and go do one of those football games.
