You are welcome. The reference was obvious since I had stated in the original post that MLB umpires do not fear being let go due to performance.

No worries ... so --- where is this reply of Mike's to which you refer? All I see before my post is his OP ... no reply.

Oops.

I think he means that Mike Strybel started this thread as a reply to a post in another, now-closed, thread.

I wasn't sure to which "Mike" Larry was referring, but I also don't think it matters.

Me neither, really... hence the smiley.

This reminds me of Rosie Ruiz. Wait, I meant to use a smiley.

If someone thanks you, it matters.

Al Clark already mentioned here... downgrading plane tickets and using the difference for personal trips. He was under investigation for the other when this happened.

Don't know about Al Clark, but Bob Engel's career ended when he was caught shoplifting about 4,000 baseball cards from a Target store.
