Are Baseball Umpires Biased?



Uh, oh. Read this from Time Magazine...

A study released on Monday by researchers at McGill, Texas and Auburn universities suggests that umpires calling major-league baseball games are more likely to call strikes in favor of pitchers who share their race or ethnicity.

I honestly have no idea if this true; however, race permeates every segment of American life.
