Bad call Mike.
It was a tournament one of the local associations runs as a fund-raiser. The team with the idiot has always been an idiot and supposedly knows the rules better then anyone in the world because he was an umpire. Yeah, one year and bailed because he didn't always get his way. Also, had a habit of making rules up as he went along.

Nope, I gave Mr. Know-It-All exactly what he deserved.

Hey, does elite slow pitch umpire mean you can sell an out without dropping your corndog or spilling your beer?
No, it means that an overhand out is sufficient enough of a sell call. BTW, would never spill the beer. Always put it down before making a call. Don't want to take any chances, you know!

No problem, I can toss you just as easy from 300' away as I can from 10'. It just may take a little longer to reach you.
