There's no shortage of shite in this film that makes me split my sides, but the called third strike before the ball's even halfway to the plate might be my favorite gag in the whole movie. Just perfect.

I busted out laughing just reading this post

The umpire scene may be the most perfect comedic scene I've ever seen, not exaggerating. I was probably 10 years old and a bunch of us were at my friend's house. His dad was drinking beer and watching this movie laughing his arse off. We kept sneaking in there to try and watch after he told us it was too "grown up" for us. Finally he said ahh hell come on in here, and it was exactly at the beginning of that scene. I still remember it like it was yesterday and I'll never laugh like that again. I'm 38 now and if I watch it after not seeing it for a while I still cry laugh
