Strange Partners

[bluezebra]

I worked a very good men's league (some had played pro ball in the Mexican League, some had college experience) in the San Fernando Valley (CA) when I lived there. I'm BU with a partner I never worked with before. Pre-game at the plate. Ground rules, exchange batting orders, etc. Everything's fine so far. I take my position past 1B, indicate I'm ready. PU puts on his mask, says "Play ball". Next time he came out from behind plate and removed his mask, was when the game was over and we were heading to the parking lot. Actually, he didn't remove his mask until were were in the parking lot.

Needless to say, I called the assignor when I got home.
