The World's Toughest Umpire - Sports Bizarre
About this episode
Titus and Mick discuss 1890s baseball with the story of Tim Hurst - the umpire who fought players, punched fans, and once ended a game by spitting tobacco at a college kid. It's the lawless, beer-soaked chaos of early pro baseball… and one man who tried to tame it with his fists.
