So some guys in a neighboring association have been throwing around this story and I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced something similar.

Apparently there was a not-so-great young umpire, like 19-20 years old, who was pretty fond of DXM. (For those who aren't familiar, Robotussin. WHY you would use that as your drug of choice beats me.) He'd shown up to a game on a trip and apparently did normal enough that they couldn't tell he was tripping until after the game but his preformance was still not great. Then supposedly he showed up to another game absolutely wigged out on amphetamines, like almost 150mg or something, got behind the plate, and called the best game of his life.
Ever heard of guys umpiring under any sort of influence and having it effect their preformance in any way?

I'm not surprised that amphetamines helped him.

Someone very dear to me had issues with meth, and per her description of how it affects sensory perception, I could see that being a performance enhancer, particularly on the dish.
