mcrowder: You and I can agree once in a while. That was my point in multiple posts. Why should they pay more when the schools are full of eager new apprentices. Major League Baseball knows that they don't have to pay much to have umpires out there. They also know that barring a plane crash that wipes out the entire WUA, they have enough guns ready to step up for the next ten years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not certain what the Iraq comment was about. If you don't think that every job is expendable in America, then you weren't paying attention in your Civics and Economics classes. These MiLB umpires aren't martyrs - they made a choice to sacrifice riches for a dream. They deserve a better living wage, but so does half the population. Hell, I deserve more for the games I work, but the market decides what I'll earn. Some of you probably feel that you are underpaid at work. If you walked out, would your boss replace you?
