What should have happened is the pitcher's entire team walk off the field. Make a big deal out of it. MLB would have to fire the ump to save face.
By the way, anyone know if the ump was punished at all?

Re: can't make this stuff up
I'll bet the ump either kneels or turns his back during the National Anthem. Baseball, the all American past time. Except it's getting to the point where there are no Americans playing it.

Re: Old Movies
One thing old movies had that none of today’s have is a moral. Sort of like modern Isope’s(sp) fables.
Even a bubble gum movie like Clambake taught that even if you’re born with a silver spoon in your mouth working hard to obtain a goal is the way to do things.
