At one game, a lady kept up a steady flow of threats at the umpire. No matter what was happening on the field, she kept yelling, „Kill the umpire! Kill the umpire!” This went on for an hour.

Another patron said, „Lady, the umpire hasn’t done anything wrong.”

The woman said, „He’s my husband and he came home last night with lipstick on his collar! Kill the umpire!!”

The waitress called out to the restaurant manager, „There’s baseball umpire on the telephone. He wants to make dinner reservations for himself and two friends.”

The manager told her to hang up, „It’s a prank call. There’s no such thing as a baseball umpire with two friends.”
