2005 MLB UMPIRES and CREWS

[GarthB]

Once when the Yankee's Lou Pinella was batting he questioned a Palermo strike call. Pinella demanded, "Where was that pitch at?" Palermo told him that a man wearing Yankee pinstripes in front of 30,000 people should not end a sentence with a preposition. So Pinella, no dummy, said, "OK, where was that pitch at, a$$hole?"


So many different umpires, coaches and players are credited with this over the years with many going back far before Pinella's time. In reality, it probably is a myth.
