Last of a 4 game set of AA's. Foul ball out of play. Next play kid throws the ball into left field. I yell at left to throw the ball to the plate. He throws to short. I tell short to throw me the ball, he gets a confused look and throws it to the pitcher. I tell the pitcher I want the ball that's in his glove. He complies. I then make the announcement that "The only time the pitcher should have two balls in his hands is in the privicy of his own home." Stands erupted and one girl said something about needing to change her pants.

I know an umpire that was banned for a year for a similar
type remark.

PU asked his partner if the batter when, He responded, "No,
but she was breathing heavy."

Yeah, I was lucky I had the right audience. But the shortstop looking at me with that dumbfounded look of "why should I throw the ball to you?" just sorta set me up to give an explanation and that was the short answer.

Cool The fun of AA ball

Whisker, I am assuming in your comment this was an umpire that was involved in a youth's game which his statement would be a no no BUT in AA you can usally get away with a few good remarks

Sorry but in my opinion that was uncalled for. Joking around is fine but when you bring sex,race etc. it isn't the place.

Men's Slow pitch...had a first baseman who kept asking questions. I asked him if he was a lawyer. Later on his way to the dugout, I apologized for the insult.

Talking

Speaking of Lawyers, have any of you ever had the pleasure of an all lawyers team? Wow, it's a trip! I used to call AA SP in the 'Lawyer's League' here in Atlanta and it was wild to say the least.
Sometimes it was guys, sometimes coed, sometimes they got bombed on beer they had at their bench, and the fields were deplorable!! It was almost like playing in the back yard, but they paid well.
