Yes, I realize it was an old one, NCASA. But, thanks for the backup.

If my wife is smart enough not to do that, we should do the same.

I consider myself VERY fortunate to have a wife who is willing to listen to my side of the story, and is very interested in understanding how a man thinks. She actually listens to what I have to say, and I extend her the same courtesy.

I have also heard there are some people who believe in the tooth fairy.

Of course, he didn't tell us she is a psychologist who specializes in mid-life crisis.

Yes, you made the right call, Coachblue. NEVER "guess" an out. I had one last year:
R1 on first and I'm the base umpire in the "B" position (near the second baseman). Now, these guys play a DEEP infield. I'm a good 6 feet on the grass. Batter hits a ground ball to the SS. He dives to his right, stops the ball, but makes a LOW throw to the 2nd baseman covering 2nd (and his foot firmly on the base). Now, I'm in a DIRECT LINE between the SS and 2nd base and I cannot see when the 2nd baseman received the ball. I initially called the runner "safe." The plate umpire calls "time." WITHOUT hesitation, I went in to my partner and asked: "Chris, did the 2nd baseman catch the ball before the runner got there?" He replied: "Yes." So, I turned around and said to the runner at 2nd: "Runner at 2nd, you're out." Now, HE didn't change my call, but provided me with information. Now, it's up to ME to either stick with my initial call OR CHANGE IT. I changed it. I have NO problem doing that and have done so a handful of times over the course of 30-plus years on the diamond.
Again, coach, NEVER "GUESS" AN OUT.
Steve, can you please stop shouting?
