WJMorris3 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 The year is 1932. You're umpiring the first game of the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees.The Yankees are leading, 8-4, when they come to the plate at the top of the seventh inning. Babe Ruth is set to lead off when you see Chicago pitcher Burleigh Grimes load up the baseball with spit and tobacco juice. As home plate umpire, what do you do?
