I'd prefer to see "robotic" umpires rather than "Luciano" umpires, but that's just me.

Apparently, his infamous out mechanic was egged on by some of the players at the time who would yell, "shoot 'em" and he would.

Never thought entertaining the crowd or teams was an umpires' job.

But it didn't help Luciano.

No it didn't - but then again, he wasn't "Lucky".
