No, because the rule book was in the car.

Oh the many times I wish I had it during a game! 12U ASA. Two outs. Batter steps on plate and hits a foul ball. I call the batter out for stepping on the plate. Coach (a good buddy of mine) argues that if she hits a foul ball, she can't POSSIBLY be out. I ask him if he has a rule book handy.
Me: "Before I open this to show you, I'll put a pop and a hot dog on the line after the game that I'm right."
Coach: "Double it and you got a deal."
Me: "I'm not that hungry. (Opened rule book: Rule 7, Section 4, can't remember other numbers because the rule book is in the car
) So..."
Coach: "An ump who reads the rule book... what a novel idea!"
