Not in the ones I've attended ... and neither has the other fake mechanic mentioned above.

As an aside to LLDan - isn't it interesting that even your supporters assume you are about 12 years old (calling you kid and new umpire, etc, despite some of the assertions to your own experience you've made elsewhere.) That tell you anything?

Dan - what's the proper mechanic for signaling that the 2nd baseman is about to field the ball. That's the same mechanic you should signal for a dropped 3rd strike, if you are PU.
