Talk about a league in need of reform. The "umpire" just quits. And it looks to be a player???

looks like a scrimmage game to me...
...and the "player" looks to be about 2 feet taller than everyone else and at least 35 years old.

attention paid to baserunners should probably be reformed first

Okay, I wasted 3 minutes on the video. So the guy playing the role of umpire walked off - so what? Is there a point to all this? Maybe I'm confused or just bored!

I'm really impressed. Surprised, too, in fact. I wasn't expecting this at all. A curveball, you might say. Not literally, or even "literally," but still an astonishing occurrence that I was not expecting at all. Dan spelled 'weird' correctly.

Dan's latest thread about the mechanics video is quite a step up from this one. He tried to fool everybody into changing the hyperlink to umpire.org. A great addition to this board I must say.
