Last night the internet caught fire when video surfaced of an ump incorporating The Whip into his strikeout call.

It begs the questions: why wasn’t this guy in charge of umping home plate at the All-Star game? That would’ve helped those abysmal ratings, Fox.

The umpire immediately rocketed to the top of my “All-Time Greatest Umpire” list. Which now has 1 Umpire.

No word yet on whether his inspiration was actually Lieutenant Frank Drebin.
