Umpire does James Brown split while making call (VIDEO)

Most baseball umpires aren't noted for their agility on the field but sometimes the old guys can fool you with their entertaining moves.

For instance, during Friday's Giants-Royals game, umpire Gary Cederstrom went to call San Francisco infielder Joaquin Arias safe at third base, but inadvertently wound up doing a slow motion version of a James Brown split while slipping on the Kauffman Stadium grass.

Cederstrom was okay after the funky move much to the delight of the home crowd — even after the call went against the Royals.




Maybe we should start calling Cederstrom The Hardest Working Umpire in Baseball or possibly The Godfather of Fall.

Uh huh. Super bad.
