Jerry Crawford, MLB #2 - "There is no such thing as the neighborhood play."

Paul Naeurt, MLB #96 - "There is no such thing as the neighborhood play."

Me - "There is no such thing as the neighborhood play...but you can bet I am going to call it." Since I will never make it to the show, the neighborhood play shall exist in my world.

that's what they say, but as we all know that's not what they do.

simply watch a game that they are calling and probably would be four or five calls per game either at 2B or 1B where the foot is pulled before the ball arrives etc.,

And, I can hear the argument - "blue he was off the bag"

"yes coach but he was in the neighborhood"

Instead of blue just call me Mr. Rogers (g)

Thanks
David
