Arrow Hello Left Arm

"call ball four and raise your right arm to point to first. Most umpires raise their right arms to call strikes! .... simple but tragic mistakes"

Now I never said "pointing" did I?

Yet
"Please don't point to your right after calling a ball." Isn't that what you do after calling a strike?"
and
"But one should never point to first on ball four."

Isn't that what you do after calling a strike? Point at somebody else. Your sisters are now spreading the same story. I think they already believe your mistaken POINTS. Simple enough, but tragic.

Funny I may have laughed at the batter for losing track of the count. But EVERYBODY I know extends their right arm to signal SAFE too. It is funnier NOW that YOU misinterpret extending a right arm outward for ONLY a strike. I suppose you only use your left hand for wiping the plate clean (PG). I suppose YOU signal SAFE by pointing in both directions. Now that is funny.
