Strike Three! Twins beat the Braves! You Bastard!
Oh boy. You thought Moe was pissed. Pat still hasn't let go of something that happened circa 1971. Apparently, poor little Patrick (who was a very cute boy with freckles) was up at bat and Jerry Burnham, a local umpire and odd character with a speech impediment (and who, btw, was not cute and did not have freckles), called a "strike" when it was CLEARLY NOT. (That's Pat's voice there, except he said something about Jerry reproducing with himself and shouldn't be repeated here). It was a close game and the Little League team The Braves lost to The Twins because of this one stupid, erroneous call. Patrick is reenacting the play here for your viewing pleasure at the original site of the crime - Lavitt Field on South River Road.
I mean, Come on, Man! Does that look like a strike to you? It's a ball! A ball! A ball, you @#%%^$ bastard!!

One of the worst calls in the history of baseball. Probably one of the reasons I decided to play golf instead...
