Don’t think I’ve ever seen one called this way.

I sign every autograph I can for kids because I remember myself at that age. I think it’s ridiculous that some guys won’t sign for a kid.

So much for the umpire should maintain a low profile school of thought.  Was it Ron Luciano who started the histrionics behind the plate?

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause.” Teddy Roosevelt

Not sure who was first. It may have been Dutch Rehnert(sp) since he was one of the loudest on balls and strikes.
