I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to imply that nobody else provided information. To the contrary, I already pointed out to **Garfield** that most people with experience did say as much. I just thought that perhaps even further evidence would have made a difference.

No problem, just kidding. I understood your point then, and now.

[QUOTE=dropzone]  
Thank you. That is how The Game is SUPPOSED to be played. 😃  
[/QUOTE]  
😃 Agreed. I was always respectful to the umps, even when they missed one, which wasn’t often. Example to the kids, and all that. I wouldn’t have even muttered under my breath, actually, and an ump never needed to calm me down or otherwise correct my behavior. Not true for all the coaches, unfortunately.
