At all schools I have attended where the topic of check swings comes up, they have always told us to honor the appeal. I agree with this philosophy, and so I always do. It is then the job of your partner to ascertain what he or she saw. If they were not in position, or have nothing to add to it, then they will uphold the call of ball. If they have something to add, then they will signal strike. Apparently, in the case that pollywolly stated, the partner must have felt he saw something that justified an attempt at the ball.
