And in the World Series, when FOX-TV was bringing to light the fact that Kenny Rogers had some unidentified substance on his hand the umpires didn't bother to look closer at the so called "mud", all because Tony Larussa says it's no big deal? Since when do the umpires take their cues from the opposing team's manager??? No to mention the fact that while Larussa is conferring with the umpires about the whole matter, Rogers discreetly ducks into the clubhouse and washes his hands!! Don't get me wrong, I'm a Tiger fan, but I still had to laugh at it all. True, by the way Rogers pitched (?) it didn't seem to matter. But what if Rogers had been disqualified?
The umpires didn't go out and "undress" Rogers because they can't unless the opposing manager wants them to or they feel that the player is cheating. They didn't think that Rogers was cheating and so he wasn't ejected. As for washing his hands; the home plate umpire asked him to do it.
