I saw that too. He embarrassed the whole profession.
David don't be embarrassed. The game is a show. I took my kids to see the Hudson Valley Renegades, who are an A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
The PU not only danced, but did a hand stand and landed as a cheerleader does. You are seeing more and more of this. It's the show and umpires are encouraged to participate.
So IMO, the PU is not embarrassing himself, but merely being part of the show to draw the fans in. There were 3,000 in attendence - not bad for Class A ball.
