Often, we tend to assume that a person of authority knows what (s)he's talking about. This isn't always the case, however, as a baseball radio announcer pointed out tonight. The announcer mentioned that in a previous inning, the umpire got the count on a batter wrong. The play-by-play man was surprised that no one seemed to notice or do anything about it.
As his announcing partner noted, this was about as rare of an instance as the infamous "fifth down" Mizzou football game.
It's interesting, then, that only the announcers in the booth seemed to notice this.
