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!

A buddy of mine, who works PAC-10 softball, has a similar story from a game he was doing at Arizona....
Beginning of the game, he settles in behind the plate and calls for the first pitch. Pitch is just off the outside corner, my buddy calls "ball".
From high in the stands comes a loud voice....
C'MON BLUE!...BE CONSISTANT!
