17-19 year old players ball hit off bat into batter, umpire kills the play "dead ball, foul ball, hit her in the box" to which the batter turns and says "no blue, that one hit me in the leg."
After some wiping of tears and lots of laughing the game continued. I still think of that EVERY time I have a dead ball from contact with the batter in the rectangular area that the batter must stand to hit the ball

I actually heard a coach do a new version of that tonight. 18U rec league, 3-1 count, dad coach tells batter to "only swing if the pitch is in your small box". Batter steps out, laughing, and coach realizes what he said. It took a few minutes to restart the game.
