He Really Said It

[Simply The Best]

Arrived at the park, two nationally ranked 18yo teams to play a DH. Home team coach (his park) has sign hung on gate, "Home Team players will be allowed to run on the outfield warning track during the game while the home team is at bat."



During the pre-game, I told the HC that would not be allowed, he said it would, I warned him and as soon as the first player ran, I ejected him. The second player. I called the game.

On the way out, the HC caught me and asked me what was my authority on his field. Walking away I told him if he wanted 4 strikes to be an out instead of three, he could post this but I wouldn't call it that way.

When we returned, there was the sign "The home team will be allowed four strikes per batter."

At which point we got in our cars and left.

ozzy 6900, it's a simple post about a bizarre incident, one of dozens I had with this park/coach/organization. No need to have a heart attack over it.

My bad. The Hahahaha was my response to the previous post. These darn forum postings are so hard to get a handle on, don't you think?

This whole discussion is starting to remind me of a card game. If only I could remember the name of that game.

Maybe start by trying to get a handle on using emoticons.
