I'm generation X haus, you aren't talking to a Millennial or whatever came next.
I have heard this anti-Canadian ump bias since the days of Exhibition stadium and the 94 strike was coordinated to screw the Expos from winning a WS and blah, blah, blah.
There is a difference between bad calls and bias. How the hell did we win two WS and a boat load of AL East championships prior to the WC if all this bias?
As to your New York bias, do you think the umps are all from New York City? You think an ump that grew up in Boston has a New York bias? Country Joe West when he was around umping has a New York bias?? Hunter Wendelstead, famous for kicking Aaron Boone out of a game, went to school in New Orleans and him and his father ran an ump school in the Daytona Beach, FL area have a NY bias??
This anti-Canadian ump bias should have gone away around the time the Betamax.
Total weak sauce to blame just a bad call/s or a Team loss on that s***....
