Aaron Boone's recent emotional tirade towards an umpire is a rare occurrence in today's MLB. The art of arguing with umpires has become less common, and Boone's outburst serves as a reminder of a skill that takes practice to master.
Valentine may not have been in the inner-circle of all-time umpire baiters — a Mount Rushmore that must include Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, Bobby Cox and Tommy Lasorda — but he’s sure at the next plateau of the range. And as he can tell you, it isn’t a skill naturally honed. He wasn’t thrown out once as a player in 10 years and 639 games.
Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda is ejected from the game, by first base umpire Bob Davidson and home plate umpire Jim Quick , while arguing a call during the ninth inning of the Dodgers 2-1 losing game with the St. Louis Cardinals.“He said, ‘You broke a rule,’ and that was it,” Valentine says. “I had my baptism under fire.”
“I don’t think things are as choreographed as they used to be,” he says. “I think Billy, Lasorda and definitely me had kind of a dance, a way to go about it, engage in conversation. It was rarely personal. A lot of times it seemed like Valentine was emptying each of Carlin’s Seven Words in a rush when all he was asking was, “How much more time do I have?” before the ump would raise his thumb. The same guys you were screaming at on Tuesday would just as likely buy you a beer in a hotel bar on Wednesday.
