There's an umpire around here who doesn't move well due to weight and injuries. He sees everything, gets great angles, has superior knowledge and is flat-out better at umpiring than most of us who move well and wear off-the-rack sizes.

It's as rude and narrow-minded to be exclusive of certain umpires due to appearance as it is in other walks of life.

The best quote I ever heard on this: "He's narrow-minded, but at least he leaves room for himself."
