Umpires got power, man. You ever notice if you go to a ballpark and there's a close play on first base, they will not run the replay at the ballpark? I've seen umpires go underneath and call up and say if you run one more of those replays, we're gonna forfeit the game. That's how strong their union is.

Pete Rose

I'm going to get paid the most if I fight for a title or hold a title. That's when all of the big opportunities come.

Cub Swanson

I've never been one of those guys who is going to hold out and wait for a title shot.

Benson Henderson

The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.

Bill Klem

Remember when John Roberts was seeking confirmation of the Supreme Court, and he said judges should be just like umpires, just calling balls and strikes? Well, turnabout is fair play. What baseball needs behind the plate are umpires like those judges who are called strict constructionists, which means you follow subtle law to the letter.

Frank Deford

Minor league umpires are evaluated in their respective leagues each year and rated numerically. This enables umpires to know where they stand and helps them make prudent career decisions.

Jim Evans

Whether it's the NXT title or the United States title or the Intercontinental title or the World title, if I have that title, then that's the most important one.

Kevin Owens

Umpires, like players, are expected to show constant improvement each season and at each level. Inconsistent plate work and the inability to handle situations are probably the two biggest problems that minor league umpires face.

Jim Evans

The thing is, in the WWE, we have the WWE title, the World title, the United States title, the Intercontinental title, the Divas title, the Tag Team titles. And I feel like, in this business, when Mr. Perfect had that Intercontinental title, that was the belt we saw as the stepping stone to becoming 'the man.' The franchise of the WWE.

Dolph Ziggler

Those amateur umpires are certainly flexing their fangs tonight.

Jerry Coleman

Most of the umpires, it's amazing: 98 percent of them will not hold a grudge. I always felt a couple of them did. I never wanted to argue with an umpire in my life.

Earl Weaver

If I want to fight for a 155-pound title - if I hold the 145-pound title - give me the fight.

Max Holloway

The system is in place whereby if an umpire cries off, or both as was the case here, those umpires are to be replaced.

Mark Webber

Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it.

Cal Hubbard

The integrity of the game is the umpires. Nobody else. The entire integrity of the game is the umpires.

Doug Harvey

Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules. They apply them. The role of an umpire and a judge is critical. They make sure everybody plays by the rules. But it is a limited role. Nobody ever went to a ballgame to see the umpire.

John Roberts
