You are looking for a signal so that the scorekeeper knows when the base on ball award is "official"? I've never heard of such a thing.

How about this? The scorekeeper is actually keeping score, knows when you call strikes or not, keeps an accurate count and can figure out(with their shoes on) that the current batter just recieved the fourth ball. The next action "should" be the BR trotting, running or stumbling toward first.

Now, here comes the hard part I suppose. The BR erroneously runs to first on "Ball 3". Oh MY, quite a dilema on our hands!!! What are we to do? Our mechanics are inadequate, we have no signal for this situation. The scorekeeper is confused as well. Was a 'ball' missed? Is the count wrong? On my!!

How do we handle such a play? Any thoughts folks? I have an answer ( once I get my tongue out of my cheek).
