Another Shining Example of Umpire Restraint in LL

[BigUmp56]

I wonder if the sensationalism of this story has any direct connection to the fact that Latin/American baseball players are now so prevolant in major league baseball.

I thought back to earlier this month when the allstar homerun derby was held in Detroit. Under the new format 8 countries were represented. 5 of these countries were spanish speaking nations.

There is a HUGE following of spanish speaking fans across the globe in MLB today. What might have been seen as a rather mundane story, will now cause a big enough stir in the Latin/American community that media outlets will profit from this story.

Just an observation.
