Which is why baseball is much more difficult to work than you can understand. Perhaps you ought to work it some day.

And NBA Officials are a lot better than any MLB Umpire.

Puh-leeze! They're atrocious, as is the league these days.
I find it interesting that you seem to focus so much on an official's weight. Those officials who are overweight out there might not take kindly to this. (We'll see if they chime in.)
Oh, and I don't see any current or recently retired MLB Umpires spending time in jail for gambling/corruption, unlike some sport I know.
BTW, I have officiated football and basketball as well during my life.
