If we're gonna talk about stuff besides "it's in the rule book," I've got my favorite...
High school fast pitch, one of the first games of the season... I'm behind the plate
The typical, coach complains about strike zone by saying "Call them both ways, Blue."
My response, "Well, if you can wait until we get to the bottom of the first inning, I'll do that."
Coach kind of hung his head and looked the other way. Batter cracked up. Catcher was laughing. Fans were snickering.... Play Ball!
Gotta love it!
