so I'm at the prudential center on saturday watching the devils game…..2nd intermission go to the bathroom, as I'm leaving some guy apparently spots me in my brodeur jersey, taps me on the shoulder and says "hey blue now that i know your a devils fan I'm never gonna argue with you again, but my kid was safe on that play at 2nd" :WTF i just let out a half chuckle said oh ok and went back to my seat…..weird

Definitely odd. Since I umpire mostly in one small area I have people come up to me regularly who see me as "the umpire." Folks I know well will sometimes good-naturedly bring up a previous play, but I have yet to have a stranger do so.

I once ran into a coach while I was out for dinner with my wife at a pub. He only had good things to say about me and offered me a drink (which I declined for integrity reasons, but just told him I was cutting myself off for the night). The other time was the season I seemed to have my major professor's secretary's softball games all season. She gave me some playful jabs at the office. But it is always strange when these type of situations happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can still remember/picture the umpire who wrung me up on a pitch that nearly hit me 46 years ago...bastid 

Funny how I can remember many of my baseball experiences from years ago, but I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday.
