Being that I am a roller hockey goalie, 
I have a tendency to do the same thing 
when I catch in softball. Saves the ump 
many "black & blues." Problem is I ALSO 
tend to do it while playing 1st or 3rd 
too, prompting one pitcher to say on an 
error, "bad news is you didn't field the 
ball; good news is you kept it out of the goal."
