On the diamond, nobody yells at me. I take care of my own business. Now the MLB is a whole different animal. It's entertainment, a TV reality show, if you will. Don't confuse MLB with what we do out there. And that's the real problem, 'cause we run into managers that do.
I do not know how you guys can take all of the BS flying at you on the court. I do not know much about the rules of basketball (hate the game) but I think that B-Ball officials should not have to endure this much crap.
