Had one like this a couple years ago. Runner on 2B. Batter hits pop up, real can of corn. My partner (we'll call him "Miami Vice"), when the ball is about halfway up, declares "Infield Fly, Batter is Out!" Ball is STILL going up when I declare even louder, "No it isn't, and you'd better catch it!" Everyone - including coaches, players and fans (just about everyone except my partner) - got a huge laugh out of it.

Miami Vice called one the year before in the "Bermuda Triangle" between the pitcher's plate, first and second. No one was going to be able to get to it, but that doesn't mean he wasn't going to call it. Had necessary runners in necessary places. His partner that day still refuses to work with him...
