I thought that this post-season's score of blunders and inane explanations would make it markedly more difficult for all of us at umpiring's lower levels to umpire ballgames.
The opposite has been the case. I have been complimented and thanked and praised more then ever. The appreciation of our work has actually been heightened---at least in my area.
Thank you, Tim McClelland! And thank you, C.B. Bucknor!
