No.
My point is Professioanl sports is NOT about the sport anymore It's about BIG TIME money. Also, the MLB umpires of today are more "trigger happy" then their predecessors.
It took a while before Billy Martin, Lou Pinella, Earl Weaver, Bobby Cox, Leo Derochure etc. got EJ'd and they deserved it.
Let's face it if a PU tossed Derek Jeter and AROD in the first inning that might be his last assignment in the BIGS.
MLB umpires make a good living and the game is NOT about them.
As stated, MLB IMO needs to take control over the umpires.
