That did not happen though.
I also heard through the grapevine that umpires at the AAA level actually held off on resigning, in the interests of their partners. They did not want to be the umpire responsible for the promotion of "the girl". As a result, there was no promotion for her at before the mid-season.
Wow, what a bunch of lousy ingrates, riddled with Old Guardness and living in the 19th century.

How proud their mothers, sisters, aunts and female cousins must be.
