I have invested many more years and thousands of dollars to work for less than peanuts with absolutely no chance of working in the show.

I have far more umpiring experience than any of these AMLU guys, and for them to think just because they attended umpire school that they are better umpires is just a freakin' joke. When they have worked 3,000 plus games, at any level, have them look me up then and talk. I have just about had it up to my a$$ with this "we are superior because of our training" bullsh*t.

I went to Basic Training when I joined the Army, which is "pro school" for soldiers, and I didn't become a 4-star General upon graduation. Years of experience count for something, if nothing more than we have seen nearly every situation known to baseball.

The schools tell them that they're the best of the best of the best.

They should quit lying to their students.
