True story.
I was watching a high school softball game and heard this exchange between the two head coaches before the game as the umpires were walking up to the field:
Coach 1: Do you know any of the umpires?
C2: Yes, I know the plate umpire.
C1: What is he like?
C2: He is not a bad umpire, but I can guarantee you he will boot at least one call during the game. I cannot tell you whether it will go for you or against you, but it will happen.
C1: Okay, lets see what happens.
You can only guess what happened in the 6th innings of a tied game.
