CelticNHBlue Don't know where 'slice' came from. It was the 'V', then they added the 'wedge' for the counter rotated responsibility, but I have no recollection of any slices on the softball field. Now, on the golf course, far too many slices in my game.

Cactus Umpires: High School Umpire Stuff (see page 2) I really don't care. Hate the term. It infers moving in the wrong or opposite direction. The term was first introduced to my vocabulary when it was used as a description of what the umpires did once a runner reached 2B. PU covered the plate, BU3 covered 3B and BU1 had 2B & 1B. IOW, there was no rotation at all. Somewhere along the way, the term went from "counter-rotation" to a "counter-rotated position". Just part of my opposition to the sheeple and their buzz words. 😀
