Time for The Caption, which may have run in a Los Angeles-area paper in 1992, probably: “Dodgers catcher Carlos Hernandez attempts to hold back home plate umpire Jerry Layne after Layne spotted Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda eating Layne’s dinner in the dugout. Lasorda reportedly broke into the umpiring crew’s dressing room after overhearing Layne describe the carne asada super burrito he had picked up at a local taqueria and then put in the fridge. Lasorda refused to apologize for the culinary theft, saying, ‘If he wanted it so bad, he should have pounded it before the game. That’s what I did with my platter of ziti!’ “
