Also "truth" is the valid defense of libel. The umpire in question not only had sex with players but also with other umpires. She did not deny it when confronted.

Accoring to Bruce's book, not only did he ask her if she had slept with players , she denied it, as well as sleeping with her partners. Way back when, I had long hair, beyond the middle of my back. I also ran a 4:20 mile. An individual who knew NOTHING about me accused me of habitually and routinely smoking dope and taking speed. I laughed and walked away. Simply because I didn't deny it, I was perceived to be a "stoner". I ran anywhere from 70 to a 100 miles a week. But I'm sure he felt better about himself to believe I did.
