Why? Just because they're MLB Umpires? They, like us, must earn respect. Respect is not bestowed upon someone simply because they hold a certain position. The person in that position still has to earn it. MLB Umpires may be the top of our profession, but they can screw up with the best of them just as easily as we can. Heck, some did so last post-season. In fact, two MLB Umpires who were scheduled to work the World Series last year got yanked from it because of their terrible umpiring during the divisional series.
