Awkward Umpiring Moments

25 Sep 2017 by Pam Dawkins


Congratulations to the dynamic duo
Andrew Plowright & Edward Barkmeyer on winning the Turkey award for season 2017

For those not aware of the reason they won the award, here is the story email as sent to me by
Edward Barkmeyer:-
Pee
The continuing saga of the pee.
It can be a concentration grabber, where can I, how can i, how long to go.
1-1/2 hr mark two out runners on base IT has been bases full for some time.
Plate umpire Roo (Australian) and ted (German extract) are in control.
cheezle at bat , dropped third strike, roo calls the runner out the runner stops after two furious steps.
The ball in the mean time is thrown to first for the out.
Cheezel asks why ! Roo says my mistake I thought it was one out.
Next dig , a new guy from Dodgers is on Second ,I am checking my counter under due stress.
I hear roo call , safe, he was at the plate and made the call at third . the runner had stole third .
So the need for concentration starting with a pee.
The innings completed equally and the five minute rule clicks in Roo looks at me , I nod (Definitealy a pee situation)
Roo calls gam ,and says there is five minutes to go and I called it.
I YELLED GREAT I NEED A PEE.
SCORE 17-5.

Congratulations Boys!!!
