VIDEO: Minor-league umpire gets some air on called-third strike
A. Isaac 
A strike call is where an umpire shines (at least in their mind). It’s his/her opportunity to put a personal stamp on the game they’re working. Each one has their own distinctive and unique strike call–you’ll never find two that are the same. Some, are delicate with their punch, simply raising their hand up in the air. Others are loud with an emphatic “STREE-IKE” while dramatically flailing their arms.
And then there’s this umpire in a minor-league game who actually got some air while punching a guy out.
Hooray for egos!
