An idea for umpire/player relations- “Both sides have their points. Players are too short with umpires. Baseball is not just the only sport that allows players to talk back to its impartial arbiters without recourse; its history practically encourages them to embrace belligerence. It is well within a player’s right to inch himself up to within a whisker of an umpire so long as they don’t bump. That millimeter is the difference between a suspendable offense and just another argument, and it invites a culture in which the millionaires can belittle the plebeians.” [Passan/Yahoo]
