I hear that Gerry Davis Sports is offering a 10% discount this week to anyone/everyone personally offended by his call.

if you're ever feeling down about a game, just look at this play and remember that they miss 'em in the bigs too!

I was a band director for a number of years and I still adjudicate music festivals and parades. A phenomenon that occurs with the better bands is that their errors stand out more than some of the lesser quality bands. This is because of what we refer to as the frequency and density of the errors. When a band is very, very good, errors are infrequent and isolated and out of character with the rest of the performance, thus they stand out.

I believe something similar occurs when a Major League umpire makes a gross miss as Gerry Davis did. If this was something that occurred frequently it wouldn't have garnered the notice it has.
