One of my all-time favorite quotes on a softball field. PU in a 3-ump JUCO game changed his call on a play at the plate after the three of us got together. Coach comes out yelling, "You can't let them overrule you!" PU calmly says,
"They didn't overrule me Coach. They offered me a veritable plethora of information which I did not previously possess." Coach slowly walked back to the dugout.
