3 years interested in umpiring and 2 friggin years on the field and you've never had a tag up on a caught fly ball? Never seen it on TV even Baseball or when you played little league?

Out of curiosity - what age/league ball do you umpire? If its 8U coaches pitch, it may be routine in your league to send the player back, so there could be some kind of reason you did what you did.. and a reason the coaches didnt go ballistic.

I'm being nice now! This is just unbelievable and I am curious.
