I heard over the weekend of Dave Polone's new book. Until now,
Polone's claim to fame was that he go shoved by Pete Rose.
In his book, Polone comes out of the closet, admitting he is homosexual
and says that he's had relationships with twelve major league players.
He says he was fired by MLB because he was gay. They told him that he
was the third lowest rated ump in the league. But number one and
number two are still employed which (IMO) gives him a pretty solid
discrimination suite.

Isn't Pollone also charged with child molestation? Or was that
another ump?

I don't know if he was official charged, but he was accused.

Main! You cian sure as hail bet that some tingly creeping sensations
are shooting up the backs of hundreds of catchers (both active and
retired) right now.
Does this revelation explain Pallone's often erratic behavior; does
this finally tell us why his strike calling often resembled show tunes?
