15 Hilarious Strikeout Moves by Major League Umpires

major league baseball umpire strikeout call move

 

 

Sports website Deadspin has recently published an epic two-part post of every single Major League umpire’s strikeout call (part 1, part 2), all 72 of them. If you’re a fan of baseball and on a decent Internet connection it’s definitely worth checking out. From shadow punches, to leg lifts and kung fu fighing stances, the strikeout call by an umpire is his time to shine.

They are dramatic, they are entertaining and most off all, it signifies a precious out for a team. Below are my fifteen favourites. Give the page a second to load or Yerrrrrrrrrrrrr Out!
