Is it one with no arguments?

One where calls "went both ways?"

IMHO, the players dictate the game, and to a lesser degree. coaches. We umps record history.

A "good" official must often jump into the game, especially where unusual plays are concerned. I find myself doing this often.

See my new thread.

I still believe that the more skilled and competent an umpire is, the likelihood of an instance that opened this thread is diminished.

And,sometimes no matter how good an umpire is, sh!tstorms will happen. It's inevitable when dealing with the human race.

I have no problem "jumping" in when the situation requires it. But, I'm not into looking for "boogers".

JMHO.
