No rudeness intended on the "really old" part!

Really old to me is having the field umpire standing behind the mound on every play because he can't run to the bases.

Really old is not only remembering Ty Cobb, but your daughter used to baby-sit him.

Really old is umpiring a game where the batter points to where he wants the pitch thrown, and the pitcher has to throw it there.

Really old is a calling a runner out when they are hit by a thrown ball, take off their leather helmet before play is over, or throw the bat (which you can see that their hands are still attached).
