Please Scott......NOT a beanie.......
Yes Joel...the dreaded beanie. Been using them for so long I don't think that I could call a game without one. Say...maybe you should give it a try. Don't know what you are missing.
The proper mechanic is virutally identical for both games.
Mike..not an opinion, its a fact. I call both as well, and use a very similar mechanic, though I seem to be a real oddity in my association on this point where SP is concerned.
I use a 2 stich plate cap exclusively.
Dave...I knew you were an all right guy! Now if we can just get these other umps to see the light and become one of the growing fraternity!
