This is the typical union mindset. No criticism for the hypocrisy of the MiLB umpires. None. The guys in the MiLB said no to the game first. They do not own those assignements. Yet, they were all too willing to knock guys out of amateur games. The Union Mindset is that Union Member can walk away from a job, anyone who goes to do that job is a scabby scumbag AND the Union Member is also allowed to work any job he wants and should not be subject to any scrutiny or criticism.
I did not do it out of spite. I worked the first one because a friend asked me the day of the game to fill in and I thought it would be fun. I was asked back several times because I did a good enough job for them to use me some more.
Again, one of you Union Apologists quote things that I did not say. When did I say I had a "full" schedule? I had as many games as I liked to work...did this for fun.

Plate or bases for these games. Don't tell me you are one of those guys who get the plum games on the bases and have for years because your knees or back are sore and cannot work the plate, mainly because you are getting yelled at by the coaches for your plate work more than your base work, and you don't want to get downgraded, and let the other guy take the heat. I am not accusing. Just asking.
