Rich,
I apologize for "poaching your call" on the JEA cite. Thank you (and Rich Ives) for the "moral support" following my initial "appeal" post on this thread.
mcrowder,
I'm afraid the only thing "off the top of my head" these days is the vast majority of my hair. However, my initial post on this thread was (at least MOSTLY) "off the top of my head". While I always bring my rulebook to the game, it remains in the dugout unless the umpire grants explicit permission for its egress. I understand that it is considered "poor etiquette" otherwise.
I must admit that I'm a little curious regarding the nature of the discussion at your pending meeting. Please let us know.
mb,
Yes, I was a little "exhausted" after composing that longwinded post. Thanks for noticing.
I doubt that I would have a reason to protest a "decision" you made in a game if you were the umpire and I were the coach. If it did happen, I bet it would be fun!
FWIW, I especially enjoyed the closing statement of your post.
JM
