REPLY: Years ago a friend of mine was the local HS varsity baseball coach. He had been getting on the plate ump pretty hard about his ball-strike calls. Finally, the ump had enough. He came over to the bench and sat right next to my friend. He didn't say a word to Ted, but yelled out to the pitcher, "Play ball" The pitcher looked over to the bench confused. The ump repeated, "Play ball!" Ted asked the ump, "What the he__ are you doing?" To which the ump calmly replied, "Obviously, you can see the strikezone better from here on the bench. I want to give it a try."

waltjp...any guesses as to whom this was?
