    Go back in your mind. You're watching a National League baseball game
    on TV in the 1970s, 80s, or 90s. The batter takes a pitch with two
    strikes. You hear the home plate umpire bellow a loud strike call
    while stepping and pointing to his right That's probably Bruce
    Froemming you're remembering. Him or Dutch Rennert.

    Also, in Froemming's memory: a great scene from one of the best
    baseball movies of all time, The Naked Gun.
