Expectations for it were through the roof back in the day in general (it being his follow-up to Lord of the Rings and all) so yeah.

Fun Fact:  I had lunch a couple of times with him when Denver had a minor league team and he was a minor league ump.  My friend and his sister knew him and he'd let us use his comp tickets.

You might have convinced me that there are some bad umpires.  But hey that’s why we watch the games because of them
