Off sport, but not off topic.......2 years ago, was working a varsity baseball dbl hdr with the same 2 JV teams on the next diamond. Eating a hotdog between games w/ my partner when the home JV coach approaches us, said he wished we were doing his games, as the PU in the 1st game called a delay of game penalty against his pitcher and threw a yellow flag onto the field. We shrugged, said we've never heard of that before, and he walked off as the 2 umpires from his game walk up with their food.

Before we said a thing (didnt know either of them), one asked if that coach was complaining about his pitchers delays, then said he'd warned, then threw a flag he had in his pocket.

I just turned to my partner, said, "time to get our 2nd game going".....
