With all the action, you forgot whether you called ball four or strike three. What do you do? With an indicator registering four balls and three strikes, you check to see that the batter was out on strikes, and is removed from 1B.

THAT'S why a four ball, three strike indicator makes sense.

As I heard Jim Evans ask at a clinic in Seattle a few years ago, was this during a day game or night game?
