Umpiring Moment of the Year
What memory from this year's umpiring season sticks in your mind? This is the place to list your best games, most funny moments and most memorable incidents. I'll start off by recalling a game at CDP where the coach called in a site convenor to appeal an unnannounced substitution. While this is totally legal, the team's scorekeeper, complete with a "CDP Grandpa" shirt came onto the field and argued to the convenor that the unannounced substitute hitter should be called out. The kicker was when the coach said "and he's been umpiring for 30 years as well". I thought of you guys at that moment and did my best to keep a straight face.
