There isn't enuff bandwidth here to include all Smitty stuff.
Some cherce Smittyisms (all first-hand) "STRIKE ON A SWING" [Between innings, F2 needs to adjust mask before first pitch] "TIME!" (at Boeing decibel level) "FOUL TIP!!!!" "He gets the base he's goin' to, plus one." "One base to all runners on throws from the infield." [on obvious INT on batted ball by 1B coach] "No interference; he wuz tryin' to get out da way!" "Why buy base pants?" No comment neeeded: Base ump with ball bag including brush, eyeglass case, AND a small can of Off [U3 goes out into LF for catch; R3 tags up from 3B and scores; defense appeals; U3 calls "SAFE". After the game, I asked U3 how he could possibly call a tag-up when he was fairly deep into the outfield]: "The ball was hit deep; he was gonna score anyway." In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is truly king. Ace
