Dat's okay, I sin the other way and do an occasional BB game -- 3 or 4 a year -- just to remember my roots. And so far when I have gone to the dark side I have remembered to do my BB strikes and outs.
Had an interesting thing happen to one of our SB umpires who is working with a new-to-us umpire who has come over from BB. He told my SB buddy that when HE (the new plate ump) does BB he NEVER goes to third.
After seeing him work SB, I can believe him.
Oh yeah...I wear my all black NB shoes over there if I do bases...and no flack so far. I have thought about getting some White-Out for the N but have resisted.
