That all sounds great in theory, but you think there are 32 former MLB umpires that are physically capable, one per city that is available to work a game at the last minute?

Good luck with that policy. And would someone want to hang out with what they already make to hope and pray someone goes down just to work? And this is such a rare situation in the first place that I doubt this even would be worth it to have someone on constant hold.

Peace
