There is an old-time umpire up here in these parts that does amatuer baseball. The guy always works by himself. Guy's name is Earl and he made one of the funniest calls I have ever seen.
3-2 count on the batter, ball comes across high and batter checks his swing. Earl calls ball and runner takes off down to first. The pitcher then tells the catcher to appeal the call. The catcher turns to Earl and asks "did he go?" Earl replies with a hearty "YES HE DID!!" and rings the batter up on strike three.
Couldn't watch the rest of the game without laughing everytime old earl made a call.
