Baseball is more than a game to me, it's a religion.
The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.
Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.
It ain't nothin' till I call it.
An angry player can't argue with the back of an umpire who is walking away.
