DG - I'm with you on this, but the "announcers" are more likely that not ex-major leaguers. And while players do not study the rules the way we do it is also a fact the rules committee is NOT overly represented by umpires. SO, it is a fact of life that the majority of MLB fans will buy into just about anyting the retired-player announcers say. If we are to educate the fans we aren't going to do it by imposing the umpires into the game. Both sad and true.
Remember Steve Palermo and the nail file? His subtle look as Niekro tried to toss the nail file away got SO many TV fans saying "HEY! LOOK AT THAT" Sad, but true, to the fans umpires should be seen and never heard from.
