Joel,
Thought you might need a stupid ump(me) story for your web site but if it doesnt meet qualifications I will understand.
It happen my rookie year calling adult game in the fall on a Monday night somewhere in the middle of the game my partner and I were talking about how we were having to miss Monday Night Football the Cowboys were on and being here and a big homer that I am anyway top of new inning 1st batter comes up and a nice strike pitch not swung at and I gave the big O strike signal with the right arm and yell out "Touchdown" look around everybody gaving me the ump just lost it look being quick with the tongue I mutter "just making sure you guys are awake strike" got a few chuckles then and game went on but I was fully embarresed
One of my stupid ump moments
Don
