The proper way
Did a Babe Ruth Jr game the other day as a favor to my leagues UIC. I kept signalling either "three and two" or "three balls and two strikes". The coach came up to me between innings and told he has umped and the correct mechanic is banging your two closed fists together saying full count. Let's not go into my response (I was nice). However, I did resist discussing coaching with him when he was forced to finish the game with 8 players and elected to have 3 infielders and 3 outfielders (no third baseman). The sad part was the other team never got players to steal an open third base. Now I know why I usually stick to school and travel games.
