| The umpire in this photo was probably correct, unlike the one at tonight's game. But remember - they're volunteers! Parents who make a show of yelling at the umpires have a negative impact on the game, and their kids. Writing a poem about a bad call is more discreet. Haha. |
triumph morphing into
incredulity: "You're outta there!"
An outcry from the ranks
and from the stands,
but he's not cheating
as some think, still others
yell. I wouldn't want his job,
but even I can see he doesn't
do it all that well. The kid slid
under, everyone could
see it but the umpire standing
close, and (not surprisingly)
the other team,
and all the cheering fans
on the opposing side.
