I've fired two crew members. It's not easy.
One never again latched on to a crew and passed away a year or two ago. When I went to his funeral, there was a picture of 3 of us along with this official dressed in baseball umpire uniforms before some game we worked 4-man.
In retrospect, the decision was the right one (to fire the official), but I wonder if I could've done it a bit differently.
