We have a good relationship with the umpires, which has led to the MBL having some of the better umpires in the area. We would appreciate that players and fans remember that we are all MBLers, not MLBers, and keep their opinions to themselves during games. While we realize that in the heat of competition there will be flare-ups, it is still expected that players, managers and fans alike will be mature enough to settle those occurances quickly and quietly. We will not tolerate abuse of umpires, players or fans under any circumstances.
