A couple of years back, had been doing a lot of baseball but was working my first fastpitch game of the season.... it was probably three weeks into their softball season.
Probably the second batter, the pitch comes in a little up but within what I felt was a proper zone... STRIKE. Coach looks a little disconcerted.... a little later another STRIKE at the top of the zone.
Coach is up on this one and yells loud enough for both teams and all of the fans setting behind me to hear, "Hey, let's call 'em both ways!"
Didn't have to think but a split second and responded "Well coach, when we get to the bottom of the FIRST INNING you'll see that I do call them both ways." There were several snickers but a general dead silence.
He hung his head and didn't look at me or say another word for the rest of the game. That's better than an ejection!
