You haven't missed one if five years?
In most cases if you "missed it" how would you know?
If you don't see it, it is very dificult to know you didn't see it.

Man, that's the truth! Great statement!

On pitches that fool a batter that badly, often he's checking his swing and our focus shifts to whether he went too far, and not to the ball near his feet. How can anybody see everything? So a little help from your friends is in order. I continue to be amazed that the third base umpire missed it also. Maybe he was fixing on the guy's hands also.

And of course, we all know that we often make the call on sound (the sound of a foul tip or the sound of no catch or the sound of a pitch nicking a guy's uniform or shoe), so the plate umpire missed that sound too.
