In the minor leagues of professional baseball youa re taught to say one ball and one strike (or whatever the correct number of balls/strikes is).

That's what is taught. Is that what is used?

In any event, I'd use whichever the "big dogs" in your assoication use.

Also, there is no such thing as a "full count", that is actually a media term.

Agreed.

Finally, when you have either two balls or two strikes it is always indicated with the index and ring finger and never the index and pinky fingers.

I'm sure you mean "index and middle finger"

Alas, the Voice Of Reason, Mr. Jenkins is absolutely correct. Officiating is about the money and it is about pleasing the moneygivers. Only wish those Old Dawgs were right more often.

To be clear, my comment is equally applicable to those who work as a volunteer, those who get paid, and those who work for the money. The last two are different categories.
