I had this happen Tuesday night in the Lawyer League playoffs.
In fact, it was quite a nice little deal. Big brawny guy (rarity in the lawyer league, but typical big a$$ slowpitch dude) gets an inside pitch. It's flat but he wants to drill it. So....his front foot goes about 10 feet toward third base so he can jack it.
And, being Mr. Smart Guy of course, I call him out. Way way way out of the box, foot on the ground, etc. etc.
"You honor! How can you call me out? I thought the only restriction was you couldn't step on the plate!"
And I did have a snappy comeback:
"Overruled."
