Bill Hohn: Worst MLB umpire or merely the most glaring?

[tballump]

In the 2005 contract, when they offered a "special" retirement package, nobody took the "special" package. Maybe if the special retirement package is better this time, some people will take it.
I imagine, just like with a company, there is some type of age and years of work that you have to meet to be eligible for the full "regular" retirement package. There may also be a reduced "regular" package but many would not take that. Something like 50 years old and 20 years would get you a reduced package, but 55 years old and 20 years would get you the full package. So, unless you have reached the age and years worked for the full regular retirement package, there is no incentive to retire.

ML has the ability and the history of offering an individual his own "special" retirement package.

Yes, well certainly not the kind of person that you would want to intentionally throw baseballs at to try to injure.
