Manager Roger Craig of the San Francisco Giants says he is against having female umpires in the major leagues.

Craig, interviewed in the October issue of Playboy magazine, was asked if triple-A umpire Pam Postema should advance to the majors.

“I’ve seen her work, and she’s not a bad umpire,” Craig said. “Will there ever be one? I don’t know. But should there be a woman umpire in the majors? My answer is no, and I’ll tell you why. The abuse you have to take as an umpire is terrible, and I just don’t think women should have to take that kind of abuse.

“I have three daughters and I’d hate for any of them to be out there listenin’ to all the swearin’ and stuff.”
