Now, second base however.....with people standing on you, sliding into you, kicking you, etc..... that might be more fitting to your actual skill level(and experience).

Heck, no. Our leagues use "real" strike zones. I dispise the mat, both as a pitcher and umpire; it takes away some of the pitcher's advantage if they have to hit a "spot" on the ground rather than trying to get that 6' high pitch past the back shoulder of the batter.

That's unfortunate. The mat always spoke highly of you. However there was some mention of that night together in the dugout...just the two of you...in the dark....
