UMPS-A-DAISEY
"Ray Scarborough, former Washington pitcher, was reminded of one of the funniest experiences of his career.
'I was in the Detroit bullpen warming up,' Scarborough recalled, 'and Joe Kuhel was managing the Senators. I wasn't really warming up- I was just loosening up because the guy who was pitching- I've forgotten his name- was doing a good job for us. We were ahead by something like 4-0 when I got the call from Kuhel. I was really puzzled. Then it turned out that Joe had had an argument with Red Jones and the Washington bench was riding Red. So Jones walked over to the bench and yelled: 'I heard you, Scarborough. You're out of the game.' With that, Kuhel said, 'Are you really throwing Scarborough out?' Red said he sure was. So Joe called me from the bullpen and as I came up to him and Jones, Kuhel said: 'Here he is you (deleted). Throw him out.' ' "
