No players. I actually found Al on Facebook, and let him know that I thoroughly enjoyed his book. I like on how he included every ejection he ever had in MLB, and he was brutally honest on what he did off the field.

I can't even sign in to here from Tapatalk. I use Facebook and can't do diddly squat with this site using Tapatalk.

@Majordave I'll send you a message when I'm finished. I also think I spotted an error, I'll research that and write to them if I'm correct. (Regarding baseball, I'm right 99.5% of the time.)

I just started reading this book, came out this year. Written by Al Clark and Dan Schlossberg. Both autographed it, if anyone would like to read it when I am finished with it, let me know and I'll ship it out. Book review when I am finished reading.

On or off the field, if I have a punch thrown at me, I'll declare the game over and defend myself to the fullest extent of the law.

I had a game last night, in between innings on my field when I see MC on the other field (not called by the ump there) followed by the F bomb dropped by the defensive HC. I signal the field coordinator to go to that field and tell the HC to get lost, and the ump that I could hear that clear over here. I talked with my assignor last night and told him about what happened, he said that it's the responsibility of the ump there to file a game report.

Next time he tries that with you as PU, he'll learn that he overdrafted the luck bank.

Don't feel bad, I don't have such a glamorous job either. DDS Clerk at Mars 2 and a YouTube host on a collab channel every Friday. I might go into poker professionally, as a player and/or dealer. MD has a zero online gaming law though, so it'll have to be live play. If I ever get into the WSOP-ME, I'll wear an umpiring uniform when I make the money. PU or BU?

Mine was solo, so I had dinner at McDonald's.

Tucker, it depends on the level. In youth ball, I'm ejecting for any swear word, at any volume. Do you mean that if direted at you, or heard at all? Kid catches his cleats in his laces, face plants, and blurts out something? Last night, I had an assistant coach use a certain word (just me, HC, and him there) before the game. I tell him that if he says that during the game, he's done. Nobody else heard what was said. I did need to clear a basketball court near my ball field 2 weeks ago because someone said F*** that loud enough for me to hear. HTHC told them to get out. (Later found out that he's retired BCoPD (Baltimore County Police).)

My association rules call for the ball to be dead, runners return to bases at TOP, BR out. If thrown with intent to injure, BUBYE!

2007 (my first year as an umpire): R1 and R2, 0 out, forgot the count. B hits a rocket, F6 catches the ball while stepping on 2B, runs down R1 before tossing to F3. A banger, but the ball beat R1 to 1B by 1/2 step. I call it "OUT!!!" Nobody moved, so I announce 3 outs and bang HP, 2B, and 1B. Only triple play I've ever had.

They touch me in protest to a call: BOOM! They strike (or attempt to) in protest of a call: "Hello, police?"

Oh well. Kid should have known not to do it. As my old Brain Warp toy once said, "This game is finished."

Time for him to pay up. OBR rules, so he's dead wrong. It's like trying to beat a Royal Flush in Hold 'Em, you can't do it.
