Don, do you actually read what people say? I did not comment about what you said. I am saying it looks stupid for both actions. If you want to write down something you hold up the game and get your information together. I think brushing off a base looks stupid because it is not practical. The bases are surrounded by dirt. You are not going to be able to dust off every piece of dirt surrounding the base. And if you dust off the dirt one time, you will be doing it constantly. It is not necessary to dust off a base (with a plate brush) as it is not necessary to look at a lineup card while the game is going on. They both look stupid and both are not practical. And I am the one saying this, not you.

I just wanted to point out a complete contradiction on your part. At least I am consistent. I think both look stupid and both can affect how you are evaluated. You cannot understand why someone might feel both look dumb and you do not understand in at least one of the cases why brushing off the base might have similar consequences.

And yes I'm ecstatic!!
Good for you.
