That video has been around for a while.

I've never been able to make it past the first 30 seconds or so.

I believe it is taken from the 'Naked Gun" movie.

Why do some umpires feel they have to be the center of attention?

I'm not suggesting that we all turn into automatons; there can be some individuality in our signals and mechanics. But they should be within the norms of acceptance. "Whoomp, There It Is!" and movements like you're falling off a ledge are certainly not.

Or it could be a really short one for one of two reasons:

1) Everyone is going to strike out.

2) Everyone is going to get ejected.

Change the noun and your question is answered with another one. :)

Considering where the game was played, nothing in that video surprises me.
