In the early 1900s the New York Giants had a deaf-mute pitcher named Dummy Taylor. There was one umpire Taylor particularly disliked. On one occasion, Taylor stood right in front of the umpire and slowly mouthed his words so the ump would be able to read his lips. The ump watched for about 30 seconds and tossed him, and later said he couldn't believe some of the words Taylor knew in spite of being deaf.
But Taylor's favorite activity was to berate the umps using sign language. So the aforementioned umpire spent the offseason learning sign language. The first time he saw Taylor the following year, he watched one of Taylor's tirades and then responded in sign language, "You go to the clubhouse. Pay $25." Taylor's jaw fell open.

MLB hire a lip reader to determine what Clemens said to the ump when he ejected him in the ALCS, if I remember correctly the ump lied and Clemens really didn't say what he claimed.

JN: (Tosses him)
