I think I my partner from last night's game watched these videos and took pointers from them
Giving loud
commentary on everything that's happening (runs scored, total runs per inning, saying out loud that the batter reached first because of the dropped third strike). He really was acting like a color commentator.
Wearing baseball cleats behind the plate, the only thing that was protecting his feet were the ends of his shinguards.
*Edited*-He also didn't have a plate brush, just called time and kicked dirt off the plate.
The real kicker was that we were fighting darkness at the end of the game. He announced for EVERYONE to hear "*fielding team*, your assignment is to finish this inning in less than 13 minutes so you can get one more turn at-bat." However, we may not have needed to do that if he didn't spend 2-3 minutes between each inning chatting it up with the parents in the stands.
And I looked at my schedule, I have games with him 4 more times this summer...
