Shrewd Umpire Not About To Be Fooled By Catcher Moving Glove Into Strike Zone | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

If the Onion posts on 04/01, does that make the story true?

Yea Laz!!! Yadi, Yadi, Yadi and a Cha Cha Cha.

Very, very few people come to watch you umpire.

Very few people come and watch my games anyway. Doesn't change how I do my job.

Not if the article was originally published on September 23, 2009. ;)

Very true. If everything goes right, you truly can go unnoticed. I had a game where the third base coach was a friend of mine since he was 10 years old and I was 24---almost 30 years! He first noticed it was me when he told me "Nice game" at the end of the game. It was like, "Nice game; HOLY SH!T!"

I had a couple of games where they didn't notice.... Even forgot to mail me the check!
