Although, if you call 'strike' before the hit, what's wrong with yelling 'fair ball' - (more sarcasm!)

, I am so embarrassed. I didn't see it because like all great sports officials I am blind in one eye and can't see out of the other, .

It's all good - you just made the call before you saw the whole play - might want to work on your timing!!!

In one movie (it might be "The Bad News Bears"), the BU, on an obviously caught fly ball to F9, signals and loudly announces, "You're outta there!!"

Watch the MLB films from the 1950s and earlier. The umpire's right hand is up before the ball hits F2's mitt.
