For a change, here's a brilliant announcer comment

[Mark Padgett]

I know this isn't the baseball board, but the new issue of TV Guide has a story praising former Phillie announcer Richie Ashburn. It relates the following story:

On opening day 1986, he interviewed Phils manager John Felske and asked whether his managing style would change. Felske said that he'd challenge umpire decisions more aggressively. Ashburn paused. Then, in the ultimate follow-up, he asked, "Well, then, who's gonna manage after you're throw out?"

An absolute classic.

Kind of reminds me of the time I was working with Dave and, after he tossed the coach, the assistant (who already had a technical) said "Why don't you go ahead and toss me too? Then there'll be no one to coach these kids." Dave replied, "I would, but then that would give your kids too much of an advantage."
