A huge and awesome legend who leaps and spins and shoots players with an index finger while screaming OUTOUTOUT!!! Now baseball's flamboyant fan-on-the-field comes out from behind the mask to call the game as he really sees it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's the day the automatic umpire debuted at home plate-and struck out. The time Rod Carew stole home twice in one inning, and Earl Weaver stole second base-and took it back to the dugout. The pitch Tommy John dropped on the mound, which Luciano called a strike. And there's the fantastic phantom double play, the impossible frozen ice-ball theory, and, another first, Luciano picking Harmon Killebrew off second base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom brawls to catcalls, from dugout jokes to on-the-field pratfalls to one-of-a-kind conversations with baseball's greats, Ron Luciano, the only umpire who confessed to missing calls, takes a few grand slam swings of his own. It is baseball at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49427560562992,"sku":"BDjyhr","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49427560595760,"sku":"ZEjyhr","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49427560628528,"sku":"ZMjyhr","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/jyhr-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776022401","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-jyhr","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
