I know we often get blamed for "taking the bat out of the batter's hands," but in a game where a stacked team (mix of national champ players with other ringers) was playing a very weak team, it literally happened. The umpire, as the pitcher was getting ready to pitch, reached forward and took the bat out of the batter's hands and called the pitch a strike!
