Umpires are most vigorous when defending their miscalls.
Jim Brosnan

Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it.
Cal Hubbard

No, I don't think my presence will cause an increase in black attendance at Cleveland. People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.
Frank Robinson

They are supposed to be dispassionate dispensers of Pure Justice, icy islands of emotionless calculation. In short, umpires should be acute Republicans.

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.
Katharine Whitehorn

The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason.

It's an ongoing process of reinterpreting the strike zone in accordance to the rulebook. The umpires, I think, are doing an excellent job of bringing the outside pitch in closer to the plate. But I still think we have a lot of work to do with the low end of the strike zone.
Sandy Alderson

It is difficult batting in artificial light with a red ball but it's a horrible task for umpires to make a judgment.
Adam Gilchrist
Image
I told the umpires to walk back at least thirty-five feet from home plate. That reduced the arguements.
Bill Klem

The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it.

Ten years from now I will tell you how I feel about umpires.
Carlos Zambrano
Image
I'd always have it (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.
Gaylord Perry

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.
George Will
Image
It is rather suitable for umpires to dress like dentists, since one of their tasks is to draw stumps.
John Arlott
Image
I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules.
Leo Durocher
Image
Step outside the guidelines of the official umpires and make your own rules and your own reality.
Phil Ochs
Image
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.
Thurman Munson

There are umpires, and there are those who hold the title.
