One of my favorite quotes of the year...
I'm U1 in a 3-umpire crew. Bases loaded. F2 dropped a ball on a force at the plate, but PU was screened and ruled out. He changed his call after a quick umpire conference. OC approaches and says,
"You can't let them overturn your call!" PU responded,
"They didn't overturn my call. They provided me with a veritable plethora of additional information."
