All good advice. Steve M, to clarify my previous post, I meant wait 5 minutes +/- so the Ump can verify lightning. He stated he was alone at plate, if it is behind him, he wouldnt be able to see it as well as if a two man crew were calling. As for parents calling the lightning delay, they are the ones who get mad when we do call a delay! Still always err on the side of caution! Would rather have parents/coaches/fans upset at a delay than a death!
