So, he knew he was in the wrong and had to listen to the abuse! But that WS remark certainly was not intended to calm the waters!johngoldfinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322562737172405323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-56895251870968037712013-01-20T17:13:13.175-08:002013-01-20T17:13:13.175-08:00The ump gets the line of the night off, though.

The late Flanagan I think told this story - in the video you can see Earl going to the mound talk to Flanagan on the way to the showers and the exchange supposedly went like this: Earl to Flanagan "So, did you balk?" - Flanagan to Earl "Yeah, I think I did." And Earl answers him "Well then, fuck you, too" and heads for the dugout.<br /><br />***allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
