In a tense game, a batter was called out, a decision with which he obviously disagreed.
He paced up and down outside the field until the umpires came out.
'I wasn't out, you know,' he said to the umpire.
'Oh, no? Look in the paper tomorrow!' said the umpire.
----------------
In a local match, the umpire was being jeered and heckled unmercifully from the crowd.
At length he walked over to the boundary and sat down next to his chief critic.
" What are you doing?" asked the spectator.
" Well," said the umpire,"it seems you get the best view from here."
Fun at the ole' ball park!
