Another one of my all time favorites.

Pitch bounces in the dirt but the batter swings anyway and ropes a gapper double, scoring 2 runs. Defensive coach comes running out yelling, "that ball is dead, that ball is dead, you're killing me blue". I call him down, and i ask him what he is talking about, he says, " a ball in the dirt is a dead ball, everyone knows that, blue..." I reply, "ok, next time you have a runner on third and the ball hits the dirt, i won't let him score." He gets this blank look on his face and without saying a word, turns and walks away.

I probably should have tossed him, but he was always so much fun!!
