Not relevant. The question is, where are the facts to back up the rumors?

Exactly. They're the ones making the claims about her. They have to back up their claims, she doesn't have to prove she didn't do the stuff they say she did. I got the feeling from reading that book that there was some resentment and jealousy because she was a woman in a "man's" game. Surely they wouldn't have kept her around that long if she wasn't a decent umpire.

With that said, I didn't think they handled the situation in the video very well.

No matter how it was "PERCEIVED", Mr. Mouth was sent home. The 1B umpire stood his ground, threw out the coach and then let him vent. But, in the end Mr. Mouth was gone, regardless of what all the armchair experts thought.

Show this video enough times and you will get enough different expert opinions to startup a national poll.

CC6, you start a thread about "Treatment of female umpire in Minor League", show a video about how another umpire she worked with handles a hot head, (because not knowing what took place or what was said there, she did what she should have), talk about slander against her and havn't backed up any of your claims yet.

So I have to ask, was it just a slow day up in the North Country or do you really need the attention? Give us the details of how she was treated and what the League did that was so wrong.
