Plus, you know those big guys are dangerous.!!!!!!!! I got stepped on and backhanded. Both accidents, but seriously HOW DO YOU FORGET THE OFFICIAL IS THERE?
It's easy to understand when they usually look and act like this guy:

Nope. Think: Blazing Saddles, Candygram scene.

Here is the deal.....I umpire several nights a week. I play several nights a week and on weekends. I really don't have much "sit down" idle time. I don't think I've seen it. Sorry.

I'll be up front right now.......you guys will get me EVERY time with movie references because I never catch on to those.

If you're ever in NC (or if I'm out your way), I'm going to make SURE you watch it! If I have to Clockwork Orange you, I totally will!

Let's see. First movie I took my wife to. 1974. Something tells me that Surf is a little younger than we are.

Karen,
Mongo is not quite a little guy. In that classic movie you have not yet seen, Mongo decks a horse.

Instead of telling the catcher, casually mention to the ptcher as he is on his way back to the dugout, that you would love to be calling more strikes, but the catcher keeps blocking your view, so the pitches have to be called balls. Then just stand back and watch the show in the dugout. They really can be fun to watch.
