...calls by the ump are as much a part of baseball as home run records, rabid fans and watery beer, but a new study shows that an umpire's decision may have a disturbing ulterior motive: racism...

But in Congress there's still rabid bipartisan support for the status quo - as long as all 535 members can bring home their pet water projects.
