Your conclusion is not supported by the premise you accept.

To my chagrin, I find it impossible to dispute the notion that there are a fair number of rats out there.

The conversion is near complete.

As I have said before, I believe that this statement demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of the role of an umpire in the game of baseball.

And as I have said before, you are wrong. What is the fundamental job of an umpire? It is to see that neither side has an advantage not intended by the rules. If coaches and players didn't lie or cheat, that wouldn't happen.

P.S. How's your season going? I'm having a BLAST! Umpiring is significantly more fun than coaching, and WAAAYYYYY less stressful.

I've had a great season. I've worked 12 games with a certain new MiLB umpire including a DH on Father's Day.
