We've all heard some idiot yell "Hands are part of the bat!" but this one took the cake.
Pitcher is throwing smoke, so batters are beginning their swings essentially before they see the ball. Pitch comes high and tight. Batter tries to bail and at the last second blocks the ball with a bare hand (a hand not contacting the bat at all).
"Hands are part of the bat, Blue!!!"
Here's your sign.
