1. kevin, speaking of "style" in an umpire, do you remember Ron Luciano? he had a variety of ways to call you out, my favorite was when getting out at first base, he would sometimes shoot you with both hands in a "machine gun" fashion...he was great, he had a book when he was alive, if you want to laugh, read it.
2. does anyone remember the astros and dodgers back in '82ish when the dodger player (garvey i think) struck out and didnt know the catcher missed it, walked 92% of the way to the dug-out (first base side) and then headfirst slide into firstbase, got out, and the astros went to the playoffs?
3. that umpire is lucky he isnt a soccer referee, he'd be dead

my best pitch was the one that made it to the plate!
