At the end of a delay during a minor league game in the early 80's, the home plate umpire (now a long time MLB umpire) told a pitcher after seeing that the batter was African-American... "strike this ****** out".

An umpire who did not make the major leagues was so thrilled that Chili Davis was yanked for not running out a ball that hit the wall that he told the bullpen "Man did you see him (the manager) yank that ****** out of the game yesterday? Man I got a ****** just watching it!"

It still happens today.
