Sorry to have offended. If you've lurked at all around here or the softball board, you will probably find numerous threads where either horrible umpires or local yokel fans have stated, "Hands are part of the bat". It's typically the very first and most prominent sign that an umpire or fan is completely clueless.
Again - no offense intended, as I misread your moniker to imply you were a softball umpire (even the "umpires" I work with in football refer to themselves as "officials", and not umpires... you never hear a linesman calling himself a linesman when describing what he does ... other than a small minority of egomanical white-hats, most football officials I know call themselves football officials.)
And try as I may, I'll never be known for my tact, as many here will attest.
