Umpiring in MLB
Was reading on ESPN website and came across this poll in article about Bonds poor image and the decline in popularity of baseball in general.
13. How would you rate the overall quality of the umpires in Major League Baseball today? (Results from October 2005 in parentheses) --Excellent, 22 percent (24) --Good, 57 percent (56) --Only fair, 14 percent (17) --Poor, 4 percent (1) --Not sure, 3 percent (2) TOTAL EXCELLENT/GOOD -- 79 percent (80) TOTAL FAIR/POOR -- 19 percent (18) Source: AP-AOL Sports poll IMO it shows that TV (replay, announcers etc) are affecting the opinion of umpires. Only 22 percent think its excellent??? I know there are some, but as a whole they are the best. Thanks David |
