It's probably the God-like status that a lot of folks here view them with. I mean, guys memorize their numbers, and know what chest protectors they're wearing. They have autographed trading cards, and want to dress just like these guys.

Let's get this outta the way, though. I'm not in the same league with any of those guys. I'm just a local schlub, who teaches kids life lessons through the magic of umpiring. It's just that I use more flubs and miscues at the MLB level, than I have good examples. When we want good examples, I use MiLB guys, or local college fellows.

But on something like this, I'd holler at one my 14 year umpires for not knowing the basics of a call. "Jimmy, where was the ball?"
