It's OK to laugh now, but not then

ME: Strike

Batter: Come on blue, that pitch was up around my bosoms!

Me: And your bosoms are below your armpits are they not?

Some are down to their knees...

I will have to admit. I couldn't help but laugh then and she did as well.

This is one that I thought about doing just last night, but my partner encouraged me not to.

This was a big cross town rivalry type game. Some guy in the bleachers had his tired old line of "Come on, ump, you are controlling the game."

I so badly wanted to walk over to him and say, "Thank you sir, for recognizing the efforts of myself and my partner in doing an otherwise thankless job. I really do appreciate you letting these naysayers around you know exactly what our job is, to control the game. You sir, are truly a rare gem."

My partner threatened to leave the field if I did say that to him.

It’s so disappointing when working with a non-supportive partner.

Partner owes you a beer or two for that!

You know...I agree. I have a game with him again on Monday. I might need to point this out to him!

This happened years ago. I had a runner on 1B with 2 strikes, 1 out in a youth game. Runner is leaving on the pitch, batter swings and misses at a pitch in the dirt, the batter makes it to first. I then tell her she's out anyway. Between innings, here comes the offensive coach (you know where this is going, right?).

"Now, the runner wasn't on first base, so really first wasn't occupied..."

Oh, I forgot...night game.
