Umpire Quotes 

"Strike one" the Umpire said.From the bleachers black with people there rose a sullen roar,Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore,"Kill him! Kill the Umpire!" shouted some one from the stand —And it's likely they'd have done it had not Casey raised his hand.

Milton Friedman

— Ch. 1 "The Relation Between Economic Freedom and Political Freedom", 2002 edition, page 15
