In the words of former American League umpire Nestor Chylak,
umpires are expected to "be perfect on the first day of the season
and then get better every day." Forced to deal with sullen managers
and explosive players, they often take the blame for the failures
of both. But let's face it--umpires are only human. For well over a
century, the fortunes of Major League teams--and the fabric of
baseball history itself--have been dramatically affected by the
flawed decisions of officials. While the use of video replay in
recent decades has reduced the number of bitter disputes, many
situations remain exempt from review and are subject to swirling
controversy. In the heat of the moment mistakes are often made,
sometimes with monumental consequences.
