Mats make it easier for beer leagues to get someone to "officiate." Teach them a few rules, give 'em a mat, and let them "call" a few games. Though the last time I called with a mat, I "accidentally" called a strike on a pitch that didn't hit the mat. It would have been a legal ASA strike, and I'm so used to front knee, back shoulder that I rang the batter. Oops.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
