I worked with a partner who called "Fair Ball", verbalized swinging strikes, and was taking root behind the plate. Oh, yeah, and when he gave the count,
he used the "hook 'em horns" signal, and gave the count from one fence to the other. I guess he wanted the hotdog vendor to be up on the count....

Every time count of 2-2 came up, verbalized "deuces wild."

Last night: on every pick-off attempt, partner says, "no, he's in there."

Eh, I can't beat "deuces wild." That's rich.

I remember as a kid playing that there was an umpire who always gave the the count as a full number, as in twenty one, or thirty two. I remember being annoyed then.

And one of my peers yells, "Pairs!" when the count is 2-2.
