Points well taken. Now, if only I was taller, faster, and could catch, hit and throw. Wait, don't they make a pill for that now

And we should recognize that under the capitalist conception of fairness, the MiLB umpires have a fair deal: the contract between MiLB and its umpires is free of force and fraud, since both parties knowingly and voluntarily entered into it.
But . . . but . . . but . . . the agreement doesn't fit my conception of what's right. We need laws dictating what MiLB umpires should be paid. How can you feed a family of four on what a MiLB umpire makes? To the barricades!

I think we all agree, things could be better for MiLB umpires. They should be paid more IMHO, for the travel and work expected/demanded of a MiLB umpire, (or any umpire) yes they should. Regardless of the wages paid, there will always be a revolving door in the minor leagues. As Tim said, it's a very narrow door. With the lower third (arbitrary number picked out of the air for discussion purposes only) being dropped at each level every year, the door is/would always be moving. However, for those that do rise to the top, a living wage would be a just reward. The truth be told, this will never happen, it never has, it never will. Because the perfect game for us is one that were not remembered being on the field.
