Ken Harrelson speaks with bashed umpire, but makes no promises for the future

Ken Harrelson, the broadcaster for the White Sox, has shown some compassion for one of the umpires he has so harshly blown up about on the air.

"Harrelson said Saturday he thought about it and then left a message for Mark Wegner. Without a warning during Wednesday's game at Tampa Bay, Wegner ejected Chicago rookie starter Jose Quintana in the fourth inning after he threw a pitch behind the Rays' Ben Zobrist." -Yahoo! MLB News

Harrelson was unrelenting, however powerful umpires may be in the sport that Bud Selig looms over. He said that umpires needed to be held accountable, and that some didn't even know baseball.

Though the White Sox manager Reinsdorg and Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig both tried to reign in the broadcaster, he says he can't make any promises. Even a small-time student of the sport can tell that this was just to shut up Harrelson, who didn't please the higher-ups in the sport.
