No they won't, they see real umpires do it all the time. Even, may I add, many MLB umpires!!! I lived in Texas for 11 years, and attended many games, and not one time did anyone laugh at the way the umpire pointed on strike calls.

One thing is for sure, your advice not to point after ball four is inconsitent with the rulebook. Perhaps you should think first before you join in on the chicken dance.

What rule????
Please!!!!! I am begging you!!!!! Show us the rule that says this!!!
Please show us one single umpire manual that teaches this mechanic!!!
Name one professional umpire school or clinic that teaches this mechanic!!!
It is not the umpires job to show the batter-runner where first base is located.
