Ethics

about judges, umpires, and just calling balls and strike.  This ope-ed by Paul Clemens is from today's NYT.

"I'd talked on the phone to my father during the game's late innings, doubting the evidence of my own eyes.  Was Galarraga ... really throwing a perfect game?  And was it me, or was Gallarraga getting close calls at the corners?  My father ... agreed.  Giving Galarraga the benefit of the doubt was only just.  If you want to spoil a perfect game, the home-plate umpire ... seemed to be telling Cleveland, get a hit.  Don't expect me to call ball four."
