Stopped at a Dennys for a bite to eat after
working a tournament all day in College Station.
Ran into a baseball umpire who was just coming
in from doing an 18U tournament hisself. He had
this story.
Game was into about the fourth inning and he had
been putting up with some grief about his low strike
zone from the visiting coach. (He told me that it
was low for both sides). Anway, the coach comes out
of the dugout with a golf club and when pitcher
pitched coach swings and yells fore. Plate umpire
informs coach that he could take his golf club two
blocks down the road to the driving range cause his
baseball coaching was over for the nite.
Dont know if story true or not, but certainly can
believe it possible of a coach.
