The Umpire, Not Mauch, Should Have Been Ousted

I hope Jim Murray is available next spring and summer to explain his position when many Little League players attempt to emulate Oil Can Boyd’s childish demeanor on the mound and in the dugout. How this type of behavior can be laughed at, explained away and apologized for by a crew of TV commentators and an award-winning sportswriter is beyond me. This guy needs a switch across his posterior, not protection and apologetic coddling.
