Working a double header slow pitch league. Rookie partner. Two teams that when they play each other tend to take trash talk to an art form. I generally got assigned their double headers because I had a knack for knowing when it moved from good natured to mean and kept it in line. I told rookie I'd take the plate first game so he could get a feel and to just play along.
Naturally, the trash is flying and after a ball call the pitcher says "You're killing me blue". I call time, glance over to my partner who thinks it's about to hit the fan, brush the plate real good, "Can you see the plate OK now Dollar?" A good time was had by all after that.
