Umpires' image in the media

[ChampaignBlue]

C'mon, they just makes those of us that do look and act like umpires look that much better.

Seriously, I like the jokes, been known to make a few myself. For example, whenever I'm asked what I get paid a game the answer is always "not what I'm worth" (I sometimes have to explain that one to AA's).

What's important is that YOU go out and look and act the part and you'll be apreciated. When you start reacting badly to good natured ribbing then you become the enemy.

Besides, the purpose of the ad was to show how miserable he was and how many people that work on Madison Ave. play ball and have a clue?
