Funniest Umpire Moment: I once asked a player who was back chatting after a call against him “You talking to me?” and he replied “Yes!”  I whistled the infraction and paid fifty.  As he approached me at the new mark, he asked ”Would you have paid fifty if I had said no?”  I smiled and said “No sir.” He smiled back and then shook his head at his own folly.

 

“PLAY ON!”
