I am not saying that there was a serious possibility of a home run. I think you need to read what I said originally on this topic. I simply said the comment was a legitimate question to a coach that was asking a question not based on any rule. I guess the coach was being a smart aleck by suggesting that it is OK to for a kid to strike at the ball because "he was protecting himself." If the coach is offended by the comment, then do not come to the umpire with such a stupid statement. Also being a smart aleck is not always a bad thing with an unreasonable coach. You do not have to agree, not all of us have the same style to deal with coaches.

Peace
