witesoxfan Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'm really happy for him, but the fact that this was released in October and took until December 2nd to be picked up by even semi-mainstream media is a good thing for our society.

Why do you think it's good society treats umpires like irrelevant human beings? They have feelings too. (Do they?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
