Actually Ump24 . . .
Your Fergie Jenkins story is great but I think it was really Willie Mays that got into the box against Don Drysdale. Mays dug in and then looked out and saw it was Drysdale.
Mays quickly stepped out of the box and with a wry smile covered in his "diggings" and returned to the box. As I remember the story he still got "knocked-down" with the first pitch.
Ot it could be the story that Dizzy Dean yelled into the batter, "You better dig that deeper, your going to be buried there!"
Actually I pretty much agree with Ump24 on this one. I was watching the same game and when Scott dumped him I laughed.
I, of course, have no idea if there was "bench jockeying" or what-not going on but it did seem a bit sudden.
Scott is a great umpire and teacher but let's remember who pays him. IF MLB says certain things should happen shouldn't they happ[en that way!
If my boss tells me to do something, I certainly do it. Shouldn't Higgy?
