EVIL UMPIRE: Bruce Froemming, baseball's longest-serving umpire, is in hot water today after he allegedly left a phone message for a female baseball administrator on which he referred to her as a "stupid Jew bitch." Froemming has been suspended without pay for 10 games and also stripped of the coveted opening-day umpiring assignment in Japan.
Now it's clearly not okay for anyone associated with baseball to spew such venom at a female official. But I must admit that if Froemming had directed the exact same phrase at the commissioner, I wouldn't be quite so offended.
I think Bruce Froemming did the right thing. I'm going to stick up for the big man. Bruce wouldn't have said it if she didn't deserve it.
Way to go Bruce, rock on!!!!!!!!!
