Carl, what type of cup do you wear on the bases?

As to the play, I have no interference.

Bob: Don't be so funny. In a three-man crew a pick-off throw from a senior pitcher who regularly hits the 90s went off F3's mitt and hit just to the right of the shin on my right leg.

I was released from Home Nursing Care last Thursday, after four months of wound dressing.

My doctor has said she won't be responsible unless I wear shin guards on the bases did it once, and nobody said anything.

They don't say anything when I start in B either. They're just happy to have someone with my expertise on their field. (grin)

Oh, a junior college coach about six or seven years ago said something like: "What the hell are you doing starting in B?"

I said: "Umpire are you?

He said: "Yes. With nobody on...."

I said: "With nobody on, I start where you stop after you have pivoted into the infield. Think about it!"

At the end of the game, he said: "I'm gonna try it. It worked for you."

I never heard back from him. Likely, his association fired him. After all, according to some people on The Forum if you coach and umpire, the coach-half rules and you are a rat!
