This is pending approval for all levels.

I'm plate the other night. Mens SP. We're going into the top of 3 and I glance at my partner who is eating a hotdog. I call time and let him finish his dog. Apparently one of the kids ran over to the snack shack and got him one. He missed lunch and needed something to tide him over....

Was your partners name One-way, why didn't he have the kid get one for you?

That is pretty rude to eat all by himself. Prolly woulda been great to have a hot dog to go with your beer.

Bear in mind that the story I'm about to tell is about an umpire whom I hold in high regards. She's professional, knowledgeable, and is normally great for the job. However, there was this one night...

My partner ran a little late (she's an EMT, so I completely understood). Arriving 5 minutes after gametime, to me, is relatively understandable, and her profession is a noble one. I wouldn't hold it against her, especially considering her solid reputation as an umpire. Needless to say, I was behind the plate for the first game, and she took the bases when she arrived.

After the first game was over, she said, "Dave, I'm diabetic, and I need to eat something fast." I told her it was no problem, so she ran to the snack shack and said, "whatcha got that's quick?"

"Hot dog?"

"Perfect!"

"Chili?"

"Sure, why not?"

Second game starts, and I've rotated to the bases. As the third inning was about to start, she gets my attention from across the field...

"Dave... Dave... You've got 3rd."

I gave her a puzzled look.

"You've got third. Hot dog. Hot dog."

I couldn't help but laugh, nod my head and say, "I've got third."

I'm not a good Photoshopper (though I still say my "Hot Moms" Indicator was pretty darn good), but...



I'm never being asked to do another National again...

nor is there anything [in the rule book] that says you can't sacrifice live chickens between innings

Prohibited in the YSISF. However, it is legal to sacrifice goats.

See 9-4-J-1-c and d (exception), as well as RS #46.

It won't fit under the HSM, so WMB will be asking for an official ruling ...

Any umpire that openly wears a cell phone on the field is nuts, if for no other reason that it opens him up to an easy "gimme" umpire insult from the fans.

"Hey, Blue! You better check your cell phone!"

Huh?

"I think you have three missed calls!"

That's a real good one. I wish I had thought of it.
