A Simple Proposal

A SIMPLE PROPOSAL Major League Baseball has probably some of the most exciting players in sports today. Players such as Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter make watching baseball fun. But there are some people in Major League Baseball that I have forgotten who display probably more talent than those 3 combined. The people that I am talking about, are the umpires. You might be shocked when I say that but believe me, they are …

…Watching them on television makes you think how can they deal with this. They should be paid more than the players should because they have to make the tough decisions during the game. As well as getting more exposure. When was the last time anybody saw a commercial for an umpire? They need the exposure. With the exposure and the added money that should be in their salaries, being an umpire would be pretty cool.
