WWTB-
You say that many of these SCABs didn't go out there with the "dreams of a pro contract" and that this was a fallacy? You are wrong.
In the New England area, the NCAA director of baseball umpiring sent a memo to all of his umpires stating, "This is a great opportunity. Working these games may even be a new avenue of approach to an MLB career."

To say that there is no difference between amatures and professionals is naive... in any respect, be it umpiring, construction, or any other field of endeavor. As for former MiLB umps filling in, there is a reason they are former, right?

Just my 2 cents.
