I only give the signal when it is to my advantage.

Heck, I do it because I think it's fun and it kinda' looks cool.

I agree with this...when done properly with good timing and crisp mechanics, it really looks cool.

And, the other night, had one where about the time the offensive dugout started barking for CI due to the "tip" sound, they realized I was in process of signaling the foul tip and stopped in their tracks. Fans didn't get it, though, at least some of them...

I give the signal because I was trained to do so, and it is customary.
