After about 30 seconds he says, " What are you doing, are you ready to start?" I turned to him and said, "I thought I would call the balls and strikes from here today, since apparently you get a better angle from here." He puts his head down , while I head to the plate. His players were in hysterics. Nobody but the umpires and the home team had any idea what was going on. He had a quite different attitude from then on.

You've got to be kidding. That's pretty professional.
