New York Yankee owner George Steinbrenner has made a proposal that would place umpire crews from the National and American leagues under one supervisor.

“What is needed is the same thing the other professional sports have,” Steinbrenner said. “The NFL and the NBA have their officials under one head, and standard rules for all.”
