On Monday I also had the exact same play with one addition:

F2 kept asking me for a new ball!

Tee: "Err, just a second, I don't think I have one . . . which pocket are they in . . ."

Looking over the catcher's head into the infield I see my partner laughing like heck . . .

Finally as the guys steps into the dugout I give the little "out" sign by my thigh.

My partner, who trains first year umpires, used the play that night at our association meeting.

BTW Rich, an assocition meeting is when umpires get together to talk about rules and mechanics -- not at all like what you go through in your area. ;-}
