OK I know there is a whole bunch of these around, but heard two great ones this weekend at a college game.
First one: Runner going down first base line and there is a collision at first, runner goes to second. The home plate ump calls him out on interference. The coach comes out and talks to him….the three umps then huddle for at least 5 minutes.and then he reverses the call. The other coach comes out and goes nuts and another long argument ensues. The coach gets thrown out and after about 10-15 minutes of game interruption everyone in the stands are eerily quite….out of the stands comes “UMP YOU ARE A WIND SOCK …YOU… ARE… A… WIND… SOCK” never heard that one before but it was funny.
Then later in the game the ump goes to both dugouts and talks to each coach…as he is walking back to the plate out comes “CAN WE JUST HAVE A KUM BA YAH”
The thing that set these two apart were his timing and delivery: It was perfect. In each case there was silence as the music was transitioning he was loud and clear no harsh langue, plus everyone in the stands was laughing. Nice job Mr Ump Insulter.
