I kinda remember, but was it the two smallest players or captains of the opposing cheer squads???

I do a lot of ball in NYC and this is a common occurrence at all age groups for NON-academic league ball. I actually enjoy it :)

so, there's no REAL rule against it.

Thanks. That's what I thought.

I disagree. I provided 1-18.. if that's not good enough for you then 2-3.

Ro-sham-bo - A game (usually to solve a dispute) where two men kick each other in the balls as hard as they can. The first person to give up loses.

"That's my duck." "No, I'ts mine" "Fine, let's play ro-sham-bo"

I've never heard of that game before. If I had to play, I would want to go first..:eek:

If I knew ahead of time of that possibility, I would probably have on my catcher's gear.

Idiot at my game this evening used that one a couple of times. :(

"The Foul Is On ..."
 

We have a guy here in my little part of Connecticut who announces the foul immediately after the preliminary signal. As I'm heading to the reporting area I hear, "Big Walnut Tech foul on number eleven, Bobby Smith, his third, team's sixth". It can be very distracting. I only work there once every few years, and I have to ask him to be more patient every time. I guess other officials are not as distracted as me. Of course, I have problems remembering the fouler, and the foulee, under the best of circumstances. Double fouls are a nightmare for me.

Shouldn't there be a forum for the officials? :D

The Urban Dictionary has the following account of the etymology of this word:

Turns out that there really was a comte de Rochambeau who helped the Americans during the Revolution, and his name has gone to everything from USN ships to playgrounds!

I'm not sure I believe this as an etymology, but somebody in Urban Dictionary-land is thinkin'!

There was a guy who did that in college games around here. The only problem is sometimes he'd have the right number and sometimes he wouldn't. Obviously, when he didn't, the coach would go nuts saying "you just called it on someone else. blah blah blah" Those college officials didn't like it too well and lets just say they found a new announcer.

General Rochambeau ...
 

When he passed through Connecticut, in June, 1781, on his way from Newport, Rhode Island, to Yorktown, Virginia, he set up his camp right down the street from me. He entertained his officers at one of our local taverns. Every once in a while, somebody digs up some Revolutionary War artifact at the encampment site.

Once somebody found an old metal whistle with "Mark T. DeNucci, Sr." engraved on the whistle. Really.

Did you ever meet him?

Sorry, No 18th Century Experience ...
 

Hey. I've only lived in two centuries, 20th, and 21st. In the 18th century, I was just a twinkle in my great, great, great, great, great grandfather's eye.
