JP, things almost as strange have actually happened. Billy Martin once got into one of his famous arguments/tirades with a home plate umpire. After the conversation became sufficiently heated, Martin kicked the umpire in the shin; the ump promptly retaliated by kicking Martin in the shin. After an exchange of, perhaps, three kicks, it finally dawned on Martin, “He’s got shin guards on, I don’t. His kicks are hurting me a lot more than mine are hurting him.” So, hostilities immediately ceased.
Heh, that's awesome, Rex. Seems like baseball, more than other sports, attracts the characters. Yogi and Billy right up there with the best of them. *salute*
