They were hired by the League and obligated to apply the rules the way the League wanted them applied. As I recall they refused to call the "high strike" the way the League wanted it called. I'm sure that there were other issues invovled as well. I think it was Eric Gregg with his strikes 6 inches off the black he was an embarassment to the profession the way he called strikes and his arrogance on the field was their for all to see. None of them should have been hired back. Just my opinion.

And an ignorant opinion it is.
Major League Baseball didn't bust the umpires union because they wouldn't call high strikes but called strikes too far outside. Sheesh.
