But maybe some day I will so that I can be as good of an umpire as you think you are.

You've never had a bunt and run play where the batter-runner pushes the ball towards F3 who plays the ball and advances towards the batter-runner?
The batter-runner stops and retreats, causing F3 to stop and make the throw to F4 at first for the put-out.....Meanwhile R1 is steaming around second and makes it to third standing up.
This play happened two weeks ago in a D1 college game I workedand I've seen other things happend from the batter-runner retreating.
Then again, I understand why you would be baffled about this seeing that your most memorable game of the year was actually not a game, but a shooting at prior to your JV game.
I guess the most memorable part was that you got paid.
