"One thousand one..."

Just this season, I also heard that "ball is foul if it hits the plate" myth...unfortunately I was a fan at the game and didn't play along with a random fan who told me that "the ump sure blew that one" he didn't like the fact that I didn't agree with him...I didn't make a fool of him, simply told him using my "inside voice" that the ump got it right...his response was similar to the "I've been playing/watching baseball for 40 years..." as EmpUmp stated above
