I was looking up what time the Cubs game is on today

[MIButterfly]

and, of course, there are several lists of questions relating to the topic you're looking up and one question was "How much do umpires get laid?"

Even though it said laid, the answers correctly referred to how much they get paid. I was a little disappointed. You never know when "how much do umpires get laid?" will come up in casual conversation.

1. It strikes me ...

that it would take a lot of balls to ask a question like that.

2. Fair statement.

5. LOL!

3. I guess a lot of questions fall under the topic of bats and balls.

4. Kurt Russell told a story on old Letterman about his days in the minors

There was this one umpire who was a real jerk. All the time. Someone on Russell’s ballclub knew a woman in an upcoming town who had some sort of STD so they asked her to go to the bar this jerk usually frequented. He then had to explain that to his wife.
