True story about a partner I had a couple of years ago...

Not only did this guy point to first base on ball four, he had a habit of commenting on the pitch location ("inside", "too high", etc.).

3-2 count. I'm in "A". Pitch comes in and the batter tries to check his swing.

Plate umpire jumps up, points at me (well, actually he was pointing at first base because he called it ball four, but I didn't realize that) and says, "That's too low!" (which, combined with his point, made me think he was saying, "Did he go?").

I came up with big hammer and a, "Yes he did!".

Poor, non-standard or unconventional signals don't just make you look bad. They can make your partner look bad, too!
