The Umpire
 

Spring Training is right around the corner. It's time for some baseball humor.
-------------------------
Ken played for a semipro baseball team. At every game, he sold raffle tickets. Half the money paid the team's expenses, and the other half went to the winning ticket holder.

One day the drawing was held just as Ken stepped up to bat. The home plate umpire drew the winning ticket, and then he turned to Ken to ask, "Could you read me the number? My vision's not too good."
-------------------------
...ouch...

I don't get it...

The home plate umpire was drawing out the winning ticket, but as his VISION wasn't too good, he couldn't read the ticket.

Bodes well for his call of the game, no?

Wow... when you HAVE TO explain a joke... wow... :eek:

So you're saying that the Cubs need to hold a raffle before every game? :D
