Rules of the Game?

In tonight's broadcast of the Sox-A's game, Remy related an anecdote about his playing days: the home plate umpire had to catch a flight after the game, and before the game started he passed the word around, "If it starts getting close, you'd better be swinging, because my strike zone is gonna be huge."

Remy: "Needless to say, he made his flight."

That's the funny.
