Some politicians, lawyers, journalists and cops are inveterate scammers. So it goes. But baseball umpires? Read it and weep. Caveat emptor in the "memorabilia" market.

Never play cards with a man named "Doc;" never eat at a place called "Mom's;" and never buy anything the value of which depends on a signed certificate of "authenticity."

As Nelson Algren might have put it, but didn't.
