Reminded me of a local league official the other day. Said "you umpires are only out to make a buck and you don't give anything back to community."

I guess going to Iraq, getting shot at and losing a buddy isn't giving back. It was everything I could do not to stand up and rip this guy's skull from his stupid little head.
