He also didn't wear plate shoes, went to the C position in the field when we had a runner on base anywhere (His C position was almost directly behind the mound), and banged routine outs at first from the baseline like a close play at 2B on a steal. Smitty all the way.

I had to do this once. Catcher set up inside on nearly every pitch. He was a big, tall guy. In order to see over him, I had to stand upright, and couldn't see anything low at all. So, I moved over to other side - but that felt really uncomfortable. At least I could see the plate though. I didn't get any complaints, but it was still a LONG night for me. I hated it.
