The only advantage Morgan, McCarver, or any other player or former player has is that they have more stories to tell.

Baseball is baseball, and the strategy varies little from the game I played until I was 30, and the game the big leaguers play. It's just the skill level that is extremely different.

I'll hit all my MLB All-Star appearance highlights when Joe and Tim match my umpiring experience. Joe Morgan claims he worked some ball while going to college, but you couldn't prove it by me.
wow.

How many world series games have you umpired?
