Was the BU in "varsity" level summer ball, feeling good, focused on the game, partner and I working in sinc. 4th inning, nobody on, the home teams varsity HS coach (there just to watch his spring hs players) walks over and is talking to me (from behind the fence) about where to send the check and to ask about upcoming weekend tourney games.
I'm answering him between pitches, but looked over to him too long when I hear the PU yell "DID HE GO?". I look back in shock, signal "safe", then the fans go crazy "He wasnt watching!!, ect". Partner was smiling behind his mask, cause I pride myself on my game.....
After the game, walking to parking lot, and an old lady walks by, told the PU "good job", looks to me "you need to stay focused". I didnt say a word, she was right....
