Thought about this while watching another game for the sole purpose of watching the umps. They did 3-man. I had never seen three man, let alone worked in it, so I thought I would check it out. I watched and think I figured out most of the rotations and mechanics, but would obviously not try to use them without actually going to a clinic in it or something. Anyway, my question is this. While watching, I noticed that when calling a ball foul, the umps would say "foul ball," the whole phrase. I used to also, but read somewhere that you are only supposed to say "foul." So i got into that habit. What does everyone think? Is there a "right" way to call a ball foul?
