Young man, if that bat comes down, you're out of the game
Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.
That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.
Baseball is more than a game to me, it's a religion.
In my heart, I never called one wrong.
Fix your eye on the ball from the moment the pitcher holds it in his glove. Follow it as he throws to the plate and stay with it until the play is completed. Action takes place only where the ball goes.
