It's one of the oldest cliches in American sport. And in the early days of baseball sometimes they tried, and on the rare occasion they succeeded. This week it wasn't exactly "Kill the Umpire!" but it was nearly as deadly for twenty-two of the Men in Blue. Howard Ganz, one of the lawyers for Major League Baseball and its permanent-acting- commissioner-for-life, put it another way: "We smoked them!" There's nothing else quite like a graceless winner. After a court mediated agreement this week between Major League Baseball and the Umpires Union, twenty-two umpires, some highly respected with one and two decades in the game, some considered the very best at their craft, are no longer working in the American and National Leagues.
