Umpz

Michael Kay and Paul O'Neill just asked Jon Flaherty about his relationship with umpires back when he was a catcher, which I wondered about years ago:
No matter how many decades I may be a fan of baseball, every once in a while I'm shocked to be reminded of the intimacy between an umpire and catcher. Nine innings, literally hovering over the catchers shoulder, game after game, all season long. A subtle flow of communication played out over the months. How has no one turned this into a sitcom or movie? 
How has there not been a documentary of this??!!
