Interesting story from a fellow umpire this past weekend.

He overheard a pre-game between a LH or maybe an Local Anti-hero (LAH) and his travel partner at a recent 18U tournament on the East Coast. Apparently, it went on for 25 + minutes and includes a fair amount of war story-type situations.

A few games later when this umpire was assigned to work with the LAH, the LAH approached him to have a pre-game and asked my friend what he would like to discuss. My friend's response was, "okay, everything by the book. If you are going to diviate, we will communicate". The LAH was dumbfounded and asked, "is that it?" and my friend said, "what else is there?" and headed to the field.
