It appears that not all ABS Challenges are created equal.

Some Umps seem to take it personally..

An example might be when Detroit Tigers rookie Kevin McGonigle lost a challenge..

Not only did he lose the Challenge but it was the second lost challenge of the game for the Tigers. So on the very next pitch..
