[B] In almost every sport, the first thing you learn to do is keep your eye on the ball. This is the most important rule in any sport and especially important for an umpire.
I have only been an umpire for a couple years but i have learned that if you keep your eye on the ball you have much less chance of making mistakes.
Keeping eye on the ball
If you are the batter, watching the ball is a must.
If you have only the BR coming to first, then again
follow the ball caught, released, and caught again
at 1B. But if you are BU and have multiple runners,
you will have other responsiblities than just eyeing
the ball such as the ones noted by Bob and JJ. Leave
the girl in 4th row alone, she's married with children.
