You Can't Beat an Umpire With a Grudge
Coach: "So you're saying right there that he's safe?"
Ump: "Yeah."
Coach: "But you called him out for the hell of it?"
Ump: "Yeah, I did."
Umm, file that conversation under "things an umpire shouldn't be caught dead saying." I don't have a clue what level of baseball this is -- my best guess is that it's either the low minors or college -- but this guy shouldn't be allowed to umpire Little League, let alone grown men. Is it as bad as shaving points? No, but any umpire who puts his pride over the rulebook is tainting the integrity of the game nonetheless.
