MUST READ! New MLB Ump Camp?

Hey Everyone,

I was searching www.mlb.com for the info on the ejection yesterday by the HP of the 1st basecoach while he was in the dugout... I came across the following information:

MLB is hosting "umpire camps" in California to learn from the pros and to be noticed...
The start of the end for pro schools and PBUC? Or just a money maker for umps in the season?

Take a look...

Just your thoughts.

Special events at the facility will include the first-ever West Coast Major League Baseball Umpire Development Training Camp, which will include two, one-week camps, Nov. 5-12 and 12-19th, under the direction of MLB supervising umpire Rich Rieker. The camps are being held in conjunction with the Professional Baseball Umpire Corporation, The Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring, and The Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School.

"We're going to go way beyond just the act of calling a game," Rieker says. "We'll cover stretching exercises developed specifically for umpires, nutrition -- even proper use of sunscreen."
yeah, i definitely need help putting on sunscreen and doing calf stretches
