Umpires Quotes

Umpires are necessary evils Picture Quote #1

Bishops are like umpires. You have to have them to call the close decisions Picture Quote #1

The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason Picture Quote #1

Umpires are most vigorous when defending their miscalls Picture Quote #1

Most umpires are good about letting the argument go, but you can only go on for so long, or go so far. If you don’t leave it alone after a minute or two, you’re in trouble. They want to keep the game moving, so they’ve got to throw you out. I had trouble leaving it alone, I guess Picture Quote #1

Minor league umpires are evaluated in their respective leagues each year and rated numerically. This enables umpires to know where they stand and helps them make prudent career decisions Picture Quote #1

Umpires, like players, are expected to show constant improvement each season and at each level. Inconsistent plate work and the inability to handle situations are probably the two biggest problems that minor league umpires face Picture Quote #1

It turns out umpires and judges are not robots or traffic cameras, inertly monitoring deviations from a fixed zone of the permissible. They are humans Picture Quote #1

Why are the umpires, the only two people on the field who aren’t going to get grass stains on their knees, the only ones allowed to wear dark trousers Picture Quote #1

Most of us are umpires at heart; we like to call balls and strikes on somebody else Picture Quote #1

Earl gave me his version of what happened and asked me not to suspend the umpires Picture Quote #1

America overflows with specious ‘victims’ demanding redress for spurious grievances. However, one genuinely oppressed minority is getting overdue relief. Beginning with spring training in Arizona and Florida, Major League Baseball, taking pity on traumatized pitchers, is directing umpires to enforce the strike zone as defined in the rulebook. What a concept Picture Quote #1

I’d love to stay in baseball, but I won’t beg. I’d love to work with young umpires. I think I could teach them, help them develop. I can spot flaws, help them get over the hump. You’re striving for perfection every game, yet you never achieve it. If baseball wants me, I’m available Picture Quote #1

I’d always have grease in at least two places, in case the umpires would ask me to wipe one off. I never wanted to be caught out there with anything though, it wouldn’t be professional Picture Quote #1

It is difficult batting in artificial light with a red ball but it’s a horrible task for umpires to make a judgement, particularly if they’re going by light meters Picture Quote #1

I just loved officiating, and I hope what I did helped make it better. That’s what I tell young umpires: you can have fun. I never spent a day where going out on a baseball field didn’t make me feel better Picture Quote #1

As all of us with any involvement in sports knows, no two umpires or no two referees have the same strike zone or call the same kind of a basketball game Picture Quote #1

We never went into a game that we did not feel sure of winning, and when we lost, we blamed it on hard luck or the umpires. We never gave any other team credit for being able to play ball, and the result was that we were hard to beat. If I could get my team to be confident, I think we would work our way to the front pretty quickly Picture Quote #1

Chief Justice [John] Roberts compared judges to umpires, who apply rules they did not write and cannot change to the competition before them Picture Quote #1

The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn’t argue with one. I’d put my arms around her and give her a little kiss Picture Quote #1

The one thing that all umpires have is pride, and if you don’t have pride, you lose that edge Picture Quote #1

Umpires are like emotional girlfriends, once they make up their minds, there is no point in arguing Picture Quote #1

Step outside the guidelines of the official umpires and make your own rules and your own reality Picture Quote #1

I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules Picture Quote #1

The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Now that women are jockeys, baseball umpires, atomic scientists, and business executives, maybe someday they can master parallel parking Picture Quote #1

I cannot for the life of me see why the umpires, the only two people on a cricket field who are not going to get grass stains on their knees, are the only two people allowed to wear dark trousers Picture Quote #1

Cricket is a most precarious profession; it is called a team game but, in fact, no one is so lonely as a batsman facing a bowler supported by ten fieldsmen and observed by two umpires to ensure that his error does not go unpunished Picture Quote #1

I’m a little too belligerent. I cuss and swear at people. I yell at umpires and maybe I’m a little to tough at home sometimes. I don’t sign as many autographs as I should and I haven’t always been that good with writers Picture Quote #1
