This maybe a HTBT, but I was BU and one of my best friends was PU. He's a BIG guy - sort of looks like Eric Gregg did. He called a strike and someone sitting under a tree 20' past the outfield fence yelled - "STRIKE? YOU GOTTA BE FREAKIN' KIDDING!"
My buddy never said a word - stepped out from behind the plate, took off his mask and sort of bent over, shaded his eyes with he hands, squinted his eyes and stared at the guy. Stood up and looked at the plate, then struck the same pose again. Stood up, looked at me and the first base coach, shook his head and went back to the plate. We rolled! Priceless.
