Tom Gage of the Detroit News reports the following:
"In a WFAN-New York interview on Friday before a charity roast for Don Zimmer* in Connecticut, Jim Leyland said he got a call from Umpire Randy Marsh "three weeks into the off season" to apologize for missing the one-out pitch with the bases loaded that hit Brandon Inge in the playoff game against Minnesota."
Had the umpires called it, the Tigers would have taken at least a one-run lead into the bottom of the 12th which is where they lost the game to the dreaded Minnesota Twins.**
Hey Jim! Classy people usually keep those personal apology thingies to themselves.
No offense but don't expect any more apologies from umpires.
Just sayin.
*A charity roast for Don Zimmer could go on all night. Just think of the possibilities.
**People around here every year seem to think that the Minnesota Twins have the team of the century that can't possibly be beat for some reason. I have never quite understood this.

I would pay good money, I mean several blasters worth, to attend a Don Zimmer charity roast.
I hear you. I would probably even sign over stuff from the Million Card Giveaway in order to get in the door.
"A charity roast for Don Zimmer"
Boy. I'm hearing a lot of Pedro Martinez jokes right about now. I hope Don Rickels will be there.
...and fat retarded guy jokes too.
maybe some Jabba the Hut stuff, like you said, it could go on all night.
Hey CC - the Twins are loaded this year! It's a given! Might as well not even play the games!
