| Aug. 6, 2018 tall_thunder Men's 50 82 posts | Thank you to the Umpire My Team was in the middle of a game, this past weekend,for the Western Championships in California when our Pitcher, Jimbo, got the worse news ever, his Dad had just passed. Trying to keep his composure, and try to take his at bat, the Umpire called time for us to console our pitcher. I don't recall the umpires name, but thanks again for putting family emotions before ball. Guys like that is why I enjoy playing at this age. My prayers are with you Jimbo. |

| Aug. 6, 2018 jimperry19 69 posts | I also want to point out that after that ump made a terrible call in the open, our left fielder yelled in to the infield 'tell the ump' the ump interpreted that as 'kill the ump'(not a joke), the ump promptly threw him out of the game. We pleaded with him that he heard it wrong but he would have none of it. Aziz Old School players convinced the ump that they had clearly heard him say 'tell the ump'. He eventually reversed the ejection ant the game went on. You guys are a class act and thank you for doing that, we should have thanked you after the game but there was a lot going on. |
