God vs satan
satan is bored one day and goes up to see God and asks him "Hey you, you want to play a game of Softball?" God just smirks... satan says "Hey why you smirking?" God replies "I'm smiling because nobody has ever told you that all the great Softballers end up in Heaven!" The Devil then breaks into a massive smile ... God retorts "What you smiling at?" satan looks at God and say's "Hell, you obviuosly don't know that I have all the great Umpires" .. :cool:

Off the original subject but in line with the last post by uk I was at an ASA advanced clinician was Kevin Ryan some guys got him to talking and he said in his southern draw "well I have always said, we umpires-- it don't matter if we go down there or up there (pointing down then up) chances are we gonna know some people"

Hay Blue, get off uour knees you just blew that last call, a game winning play at home plate that the fan had against his team to loose a great game 4 - 3.

In a tense game, a batter was called out, a decision with which he obviously disagreed.
He paced up and down outside the field until the umpires came out. 'I wasn't out, you know,' he said to the umpire. 'Oh, no? Look in the paper tomorrow!' said the umpire. ---------------- In a local match, the umpire was being jeered and heckled unmercifully from the crowd. At length he walked over to the boundary and sat down next to his chief critic. " What are you doing?" asked the spectator. " Well," said the umpire,"it seems you get the best view from here." Fun at the ole' ball park! |
My favorite fan comment of all time came after I ran a manager for continuing to complain about a call that happened the inning before.
Once the manager walked off the field, one of his fans yelled "Oh come on blue don't take it out on the kids because you never weren't[sic] any good." Shucks, I always thought I was a pretty decent catcher too. :o |
I was on the bases for boys' H.S. jr. varsity baseball game with the leadoff batter up to bat. The pitcher, for some reason, started to pitch fromt the set position, and then wanted to change to the windup in the middle of his pitiching motion. The batter's fans were screaming for a balk to be called.

1) I umpire both H.S. boys' baseball and H.S. girls' fastpitch softball. 2) I went back and edited my post to correct the spelling of balk. MTD, Sr. |
Mark you should've obliged them and advanced the ghost runners. :D

I'm working single man mechanics - fastpitch. Pitch comes in, batter moves her hands toward pitch, but not a swing, and I call a ball on the pitch. Fans moan, coach asks the catcher to ask me to ask for help. I walk five feet in front of home plate, take off my mask point to my (invisible) partner and ask, "Did she go?" I then turned around, gave the safe signal and stated "No!" It sure lightened everyone up.

There was this close play at 2nd, I called the runner safe. This little old lady starts ranting about the runner being out "by a mile." One of the girls on the offensive team yell to the stands, "Grandma she's on our team." "Oh, good call."
