There used to be this guy that umpired around here. He told a position player one time after a tag to "show me the ball, show me the ball," the kid showed him the ball and he called this runner safe.

That just happened in a Bronco game I was coaching last month. It was more of a straining-to-see-the-ball-slow-stroll-and-pause routine, but once the kid pulled the ball out and showed it to him, he called the kid safe at third. And the guy is a pal of mine, who does challenging games like JUCO, H.S. varsity and scout leagues. It was hilarious.
