"You going to be in the Hall of Fame? Why? For ####ing up the World Series?"

What a great line!

That Lee Elia diatribe still cracks me up. And Hal McRae's little spin as he throws the telephone is funny.

I read an interview with one of the veteran umps recently. He talked about working in AA when Elia managed there and said that Lee was a pain-in-the-rear jerk to the men in blue back then.

Who was the umpire Earl was arguing with? That's classic stuff.

I was looking for that one, too, Mike. Throwing the rosin bag like a grenade is the bit that makes it a classic.
