There are umpires, and there are those who hold the title.
The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it.
The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.
I told the umpires to walk back at least thirty-five feet from home plate. That reduced the arguements.
Now that women are jockeys, baseball umpires, atomic scientists, and business executives, maybe someday they can master parallel parking.
Most umpires are good about letting the argument go, but you can only go on for so long, or go so far. If you don't leave it alone after a minute or two, you're in trouble. They want to keep the game moving, so they've got to throw you out. I had trouble leaving it alone, I guess.
Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it.
The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.
Umpires are supposed to be non-confrontational - they're supposed to uphold the peace on the baseball field.
I'm never going to criticize any umpires or anything, because they're a big part of the game.
