my .02
If I was on TV, I'd probably come off with these 2 comments....
Points too much.......(swinging strike...I point at batter, then hammer) (plus points at plate when runs score).....
I do have a bit of an excuse for that....when I was young I was trained by an old SAL league umpire, and heaven help the umpire who did not point at the plate and indicate that the plate was touched and then hold up the number of fingers to indicate how many runs scored.....I know it was for the scorer in the press box, but that was his mechanic and we all toed the mark......I cant seem to break the habit......
Needs to lose more weight....
