1. You are correct, Richie Phillips, not Garcia. Thank you for the correction.

2. Phillips did an excellent job of protecting the umpires for many years, then gave them REALLY bad advice, thinking that he and the union were invincible.

He and many umpires learned a costly lesson. Unfortunately, MLB let some of the umps that resigned back in, under threat of court action.

Joe West and Bruce Froemming are two that resigned that were later reinstated, among others.
