Personally, I've never liked the umps who admit to making mistakes - to me that's just adding fuel to the fire.
I may be in the minority here, but I've always admired umpires who are willing to admit that they may have missed a call...only reinforces the fact that they are just as human as the rest of the participants on the field. Hard to argue with a guy who is doing his best to make a proper call. All I've ever asked for in an umpire is the effort which seems to be lacking more times than not...regardless of what state you play in.
