Quite a few years ago I'm called to do some summer ball for a town about an hour away from my home in lower Michigan. During one of the contests, I call one specific pitcher for 3 different and obvious balks. The kid is a mess and cant focus.

Finally the coach comes out to calm him down. I give him some time and then head out to break up the conference. The coach is standing there glaring at me..."Do you know who this is?" he asks. "Nope" I respond.

"This is Jack Morris's kid" came the reply.

"Oh", was my response..."then he should know better!"

The kid started laughing and didn't have a problem for the rest of the game.
