Sometimes those compliments are hard to come by Gulf Coast Blue. But when you get them they certainly can be good for the ego. Did JV game Wednesday night alone. Had bases loaded and girl bunts down first base line. Catcher starts for ball but retreats to cover plate as pitcher is going to get to the ball first...Ball tossed to plate, catcher doing dance with back to plate trying to find plate with foot. Great view on my part...Girl slides in, SAFE, catcher never touches plate..Of course all the fans, parents behind the backstop had a much better view than me and I'm called everything but a umpire.....While changing in the parking lot after the game here comes young man about 18..Tells me it was his girlfriend that I had called out on the play and that I had made the right call...seems he was behind the backstop and had the same view as all those other "umpires" but saw it a little different then they did...go figure.
