Did you see the man at the end of the season? He took up the space between the batter's boxes. Talk about a wide body. 20 pounds? That would be impressive if it were the last 20 of the 120 he should lose.
Unless you're blind you had to see how slowly he waddled this year compared to even five years ago.

as for him not losing enough for his behavior a few years ago, how should have he been punished? him and cathy were/are very good friends. they both called eachother derogatory names throughout their long careers together (they both came through the nl), and the conversation was accisdently overheard in a conversation with his wife.

him and cathy?
From reading your periodic posts over the past few months I get the impression you conisder yourself an "insider." Most insiders get the facts straight.
From USA Today: "Three league officials told USA Today that they overheard a phone message in which the 33-year MLB veteran referred to Davis as a "stupid Jew *****."
Here's another gem: "Froemming was also fined in 1996 for going into the Los Angeles Dodgers' clubhouse before a game in New York against the Mets to get Mike Piazza's autograph. Froemming told Piazza that catcher Johnny Bench refused to sign baseballs for him once and proceeded to go 0 for 4 that day with three strikeouts."
I agree with Garth. Bruce was once a good umpire, but he hasn't been recently and he should be more than happy with the accolades he received at the conclusion of his career.
