    I use to go to jai alai at the old MGM Grand. We would follow the players wives up to bet. That way we knew the fix to win…

    There’s a legend that an umpire of the early days (1900s, 1910s or so; certainly not into the 1920s) was taking heat from both sides so badly that he bellowed to both sides that the next person who opened his mouth was out of the game. So one team sends up a pinch-hitter and the ump asks his name. The kid almost whispers his name and the ump demands he speak up. So the kid gulps and says hoarsely, “Boo.” Ump gets enraged and throws the kid out of the game. Manager comes flying out of the dugout demanding to know why his kid had just been run off. When the ump tells the manager why he threw the kid out, the manager explains, “That his name! Booe!” And yes, the kid’s name was spelled with a final e. Probably the only mark on major league baseball ever left by Everett Booe.
