tom hallion, my favorite umpire

at the indians-tigers game, two mondays ago, i was settled in my seat, watching the game, and...a called strike three -- hey, that's tom hallion -- i'd recognize that strike-three call...anywhere

 

a pair of other...very short videos...tom hallion, calling strike threes -- great guy too

all of which reminds me of the guys in toronto...who imitated umpires...from the first row...near home plate -- love 'em

i loved this -- when they pulled out the balls, and threw them...out

they're getting into...another act

clash of titans: mark mcgwire vs. randy johnson

what do they call it, in physics,...when...two...powerful forces...meet,...head-on

maybe,...nothing -- all i know is,...something's gotta give

i wonder...if he hit it straight, it would have gone farther -- maybe not -- maybe...the straight shot...takes away from the distance -- too...low

afterwards, randy johnson strikes out his 13th,...in five innings -- that's 13 out of 15
