Yes, they played major league baseball, but that does not make them baseball experts. Most of us did play baseball too, and our knowledge of the game is on a much higher level due to our umpiring experience. Those who have little or no umpiring experience typically do not know the rules to the degree that we do.
Hall of famer, Jim Palmer used to do some local TV. He butchers rules all the time and always disagrees with the Umpires. Drives me crazy!
