Not about insurance, but topic is laughs.
Aside from the new “not a strike” rules (too close to batter, her glove was on the ground, and “you gotta give her that”), a little story.

While waiting out a rain delay, one ump was telling a story about a coach arguing with him, then the coach losing his breath and having to lie down in the dugout from weakness and chest pains. Ambulance called and turned out he had a mild heart attack.

After one ump tried to get a laugh by asking if it happened in dead ball territory, another said “You’re killing me, blue”.
