The Invisible Umpire
There is an old myth, from a bygone era but persistent even to this day, that to be a good umpire you have to be invisible. In truth, the only time umpires are forced into shedding their cloak of invisibility is when they blow their whistle. Therefore, the responsibility for enabling umpires to remain invisible rests on the shoulders of those who break the rules.
