"He was distracted by the presence of umpire Bill Klem, who was standing near second base, directly in Gehrig's line of sight. Ordinarily, when a batter asks an umpire to move the umpire takes a few small steps one way or the other and the game resumed.  It's a courtesy routine but Klem shook his head and held his ground. Gehrig asked him again to move. Klem refused. When Jakie May threw his pitch, Gehrig swung and lined a rocket aimed almost perfectly at Klem's head.  The umpire jumped--"Old Klem never moved faster" one writer noted--and the ball scooted into centerfield.  Both runners scored"



I'm reading the book "Luckiest Man" and came across this passage...LMAO imagine getting a baseball to the forehead for bein a dick





Other than Ruth, Gehrig may have been the best hitter ever 8)

Ethan Martin, our 1st pick in the 08 draft beamed an umpire for not having a consistent zone.
