Questioning Integrity of Officials & League

[Forksref]

Baseball certainly is different than other sports. It must be tradition that allows players to berate umpires 6" from their face. Also, it seems kinda strange that managers and coaches, who are not active players, wear the uniform. Is this a requirement? It seems that I saw footage of Connie Mack managing in a suit. I am sure glad that basketball coaches don't have to wear the uniform. (I am thinking of you, Rick Majerus and Red Auerbach.) And Tom Landry looked better in a suit and fedora

And... as was mentioned above, really no penalty except ejection for unsportsmanlike acts.

Baseball is so ingrained in me that I guess I just accept these differences.

Yes, at virtually all levels.
