That is a cool app. Thanks. I'm pretty new but under "Baseball Umpire Signals" what in the world is that "Play Ball" signal? I've never seen that... nor have I seen that version of "Strike or Out" with the left hand hammer signal. Also, any background on that "Foul Tip" signal.

johnnyg08 Sun Oct 25, 2009 10:00am

one more inaccurate publication that had the potential to be something great. I'd love to see Evans come out w/ something like this.

victory Sun Oct 25, 2009 12:20pm

Oh OK thanks for the confirmation. I was thinking those signals might be something I hadn't heard of yet.

Yawn. All the interesting threads get locked, this one stays open. Great job.

Want a thread to stay open? Stay away from political (and other) comments such as the one you yourself made after I had edited some posts in a futile attempt to keep it open.

Then, let's get this one closed. Are there any keywords to do it? Limbaugh, Obama, Bush. What will it take to get it removed so we can move on to better things than an App written by who knows and is completely wrong?

I wonder how many think this thing is right. Probably the same ones who thinks McCarver is right.

Let the fun begin all over now since McCarver was brought up again. Funny how McCarver can get linked to all the useless things in life. :D

JJ Mon Oct 26, 2009 04:51pm

McCarver is a liberal. Or a conservative. I think.

PS Just doing my part to kill a thread that's really already dead...:p

The guy states his app contains NCAA Baseball Rule Book, a Major League Baseball Rule Book, and Umpire Signals for Baseball!

I had a lot of memory on my ITouch doing nothing, so now I have the app for 99 cents. It's an ok app to have in my view, along with the weather, a mapping app, and an HP 11C calculator. among others, and I still have plenty of memory for songs and Scent of a Woman videos...

So you have two copies of the so-called baseball rules?

Off topic, actually the whole thread is off topic. I love the HP app. I have the 15C on my iPhone. I also have the real HP 15C on my desk. It's 25 years old and still the best calculator ever built.

I-Tune apps are a government plot to infiltrate our telephones, record conversations, keep track of who we call at what times, monitor our vital signes and forward all the information to Obama's Blackberry so he can use it in formulating his socialistic health plan that will devastate this country, kill our senior citizens and provide condoms to 6 year olds.

That oughta get this thing closed.

"Condoms for your 6-year-old? Is she sexually active?"

"No, she just lays there like her mother."

That will get this thread closed.

What's up with the complaint?
Wrong do not pitch signal?
Expecting umpire gear?
Indoor pic a problem?
Overcharging?

Judging by his hat and black cold weather pants, he's working football and giving an illegal contact signal. But then, where's the striped shirt? :p

He is wearing a football official's hat with black pants and yes, some gear would make it look more authentic. Why do something half-assed instead of doing it well?

johnnyg08 Fri Oct 30, 2009 06:45pm

after seeing the screen shot, my intial thoughts were correct. donkey app.

That is the new wardrobe that Official's Choice is coming out with 2010.

I want to post some pictures of the strange signals but can't figure out how to post a picture. When I select a picture of size 5KB the manage attachments manager screen says the image is 4.5 KB too large...
