Baseball umpires used to sit in rocking chairs
Nowadays, we're used to seeing baseball umpires crouch behind home plate ready to make a call on the whirlwind action. But prior to 1859, the pros responsible for handing out strikes sat in chairs behind home plate.
And while that seems weird enough, what makes it even stranger is that they used rocking chairs 20 feet behind where the batters stood.
