One of my favorite stories happened one day in a 12&U tourney with me as PU. At that field, the benches were up the line a little and so there were spectators sitting on the backstop side of the bench, but not behind the backstop. There was a man sitting there on the 3rd base side, with a 45 degree angle to the pitches who kept saying "strike" before I said "ball" and then "in there" or "no no no". Finally, a pitch was way outside to a RH batter and after him saying "strike", me saying "ball"; he said "I give up". Just then, the catcher turned her head and said "SHUT UP,
DAD!"
