Steve, people can have thoughts different than yours and still be a very good umpire.

You are starting to sound more like me all the time . . . that should scare you.

Tee, Tee, Tee,

And once again I am misquoted. The actual quotation should read, ". . .no umpire I know that is worth his salt. . ."

See the difference?

This means that I have never heard of or seen an umpire that I know ever call this.

I did not mean to infer that anyone who called these things a balk was a bad umpire. I simply meant that in my neck of the woods, it just ain't done. We play baseball.
