Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
I think he did it as a reflex, just to get the fielder out of his way, to climb past some arm sticking in his way. I think it was a human reaction.
I just don't see how this was so clearly intentional, if you ignore the result and look only at the situation at the time the slap occurred.

I just don't see how EVERYONE can read the man's mind and KNOW it was intentional.

Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
A slap at the arm would be with the back of the hand in an upward or outward motion. This was clearly done in a downward motion with the palm of the hand.
I'm a diehard Yankee rooter. It was a deliberate attempt to slap the ball out of the glove and therefore illegal. The reaction of the New York fans was disgusting.

Re: Umpire\'s Post-game Press Conference
I think it's a travesty that they got together and overruled the first base umpire like that.

It just further solidified my stance that A-Rod is the biggest douche bag in the majors. [/ QUOTE ] Likewise, the reaction of the Yankee fans solidified my stance that they are the biggest douche bag fans in sports.
