Thanx.
Why point on either? When I evaluate, if someone points on either, I will give them a very deserved chide "do you think the batter was going to third?".

None of the three mechanics mechanics manuals that I own (ASA, NFHS, NCAA) even suggest pointing to first for either a walk of HBP.

The point may be misconstrued for a "Did she go?" question if the umpire is on the line.
