Last Tuesday's 16-U girls Fastpitch; batter is 5'10" or so. I called a pitch just below the knees a ball and get a grunt from the catcher. After the batter's turn at bat, kind of in passing more than arguing,
CATCHER: How could you call that one pitch a ball?
ME: I can't call it that low. That's a tall girl.
CATCHER: (Sigh) Well, that's not MY problem.
Y'all probably know the type... the catcher that tries to get the umpires to join in the team's fifth inning "Chicken Dance" routine.
