Chuck Meriwether

On this date in 2011, umpire Chuck Meriwether retires.

"One lady said, 'You know, if I were married to you, I would put poison in your food every night.' Her husband was kind of sitting there not saying much, just kind of looking. About the sixth or seventh inning, I turned to her and said, 'You know what lady; if you did that, I'd eat it.' Her husband looked at me like 'Yeah, uh, you don't know what I'm going through.'" - on a heckling fan
