On July 14, 1999, Bruce Froemming signed and delivered a letter of resignation to MLB.

You can quote the SI article about "reinstated" umpires, but it does not change the fact that Froemming RESIGNED, as did 56 umpires.

The 22 you quoted were (origianlly) not allowed to return follwing their "resignations". SI may have called the returnees from this list as "reinstated" but that does not change the fact that Foremming resigned.

If you used all of the wording as quoted by popular magazines, batters would be forced at first, Melvin would have "protested" the OBS call in the Devil Rays game last week, and various other misnomers would be true.

If Froemming didn't resign, why did he have to file a suit in Federal Court on July 29, and submit to arbitration in order to "regain" his job?
