Quote context

- Then Jackie comes to bat again, and I hear this ump... Strike two! And the bleachers is still quiet! I see that they haven't been told that strike two's outlawed.

- So I get ready to throw my quadruple whammy to awaken 'em.

- Good Lord, not the quadruple! Sammy, not the quadruple!

- Yeah, Babe, the quadruple whammy had to be thrown. So I screw myself up - looked at the ump, and threw it!

- Then I listen to the ump and he's correcting himself!

- No strikes, no balls. Batter up!

- And naturally, since he called it right, Brooklyn gave the ump his due: Yeah, ump! Yeah, ump!

- You got eyes like a blessed cat, ump! You got eyes like a blessed cat!

- That ump's the best man on our team! Yeah, ump!

- Oh, I love that ump! I wouldn't harm a hair on that ump's head! Oh, I love that ump!
