The Umpire Is a Meathead ! - "Red
Jones Steeerikes Back" by telling the
humorous side of baseball from the
umpire's point of view. Red Jones was a
major League umpire from 1944-1949. His
story telling earned him the nickname
"The Funny Umpire," and after his
retirement, Jones became one of the
most sought after dinner speakers in
the circuit. Track 4 Jones talks about
the "Bean Ball Epidemic" when Ted
Williams was thrown at.
On July 19, 1946 at Fenway Park, Jones was behind the plate when he
received heckling from the White Sox
Dugout. Jones was called a "meathead,"
and someone made "whoopee-cushion
noises." Jones ejected fourteen players
from the Chicago bench. The recording
is a 1969 Motown release of a WWJ-TV
Detroit television interview by Al
Ackerman, involving discussions with
managers, pitchers, and catchers,
things that Abner Doubleday never
thought would happen or be said on the
diamond.
Red Jones tells stories involving some of the greatest ballplayers of all
time; Ted Williams, Hal Newhouser, Hank
Greenburg, Satchel Paige, Bob Feller,
Ty Cobb, and others. You can listen to
the album from the Youtube window
(below left column) It's a well spent
43 minutes.
