Earl Weaver, crusty old manager of the Orioles. After several innings of chirping to the home plate ump over ball & strike calls, he walked up to the ump, hands on his hips. "Mr. Ump, can I get tossed for thinking something?" Ump: "No". Weaver: "well, then, I think you are fricking horrible". Gone pecan.

always thought that was pretty good. Especially when he tried to defend himself for saying that.

I heard the same story during a Braves telecast back in the 1980s, but it was Gene Mauch who got tossed for telling the umpire what he was thinking.
And I seem to remember hearing that the magic word was "motherfricker". Think Ron Luciano, an ex-big league ump in the 1960s and 70s, put that in one of his books.
