I've received lousy service from companies with great websites.

That was my thinking too. I don't have one to sell you, but I think Honigs still has them. I ordered some other items there today.

It was Bluezebra with the great story. But, yes, you are correct, the 3-2 indicator does the job even in that situation.

Lead runner comes home, second runner goes to 3B. F7 throws wild to 3B, allowing second runner to score. When the dust clears, batter is standing on 1B. With all the action, you forgot whether you called ball four or strike three. What do you do? With an indicator registering four balls and three strikes, you check to see that the batter was out on strikes, and is removed from 1B.

Never happen. BATTER RUNNER is a term that identifies the offensive player...

Never happen. BATTER RUNNER is a term that identifies the offensive player who has just finished his time at bat until he is put out or until the play on which he became a runner ends.

Oh, you mean Officials Have No Choice.

OK, I'll bump this one last time to see if anyone has an old style indicator for me? No more war stories. I just want a simple Rawlings or Spalding stainless steel indicator with 2 strikes, 3 balls, and 2 outs. Anyone?????

How about if I give in return 2 of the same type indicators with 3 strikes, 4 balls, and 3 outs indicators. Already notched and ready to be placed into service.
