I'm sure her parents are proud that their Daughter isn't concerned with peer pressure and is willing to step out and be a trend setter with her fashion statement. Good for her. IMO, all sports require hard work and dedication, along with subtle advantages.

From the press box today in an instructional fastpitch league (HS), I hear the following comment in the BOTTOM OF THE FIRST.

Come on blue, you haven't called the inside pitch all day (this on the--approximately--sixth inside corner pitch I called a strike).

Did I mention it was the second game of a double header, and I was on the plate for the second game only?

Oh yeah, the press box is about 30 feet from the fence, and two stories high.

Inside Pitch ?
 

I have seen FU officiate and while I never hear any comments in general about his inside corner his OUTSIDE corner is ALWAYS mentioned !

Re: Inside Pitch ?
 

Well, if the pitchers won't throw to my OUTSIDE AREA (I can't really call it a corner), I'll call YOUR inside corner!

We haven't had clearance from Air Traffic Control! :)

CLEARANCE GRANTED!

Presenting the ball
 

Coach: Blue, just for my knowledge, doesn't the pitcher haver to present the ball in front of the body?

Blue: No, all she has to do is bring her hands together.

Coach: You sure, doesn't she have to touch in front of the body?

Blue: I don't really care and it doesn't really matter where she touches, so long as she touches?

Coach: Is that in the rule book anywhere?

Blue: Yep.

Coach: Doesn't she have to touch for at least one second?

Blue: Contact is interpreted as one second.

Coach: You sure?

Blue: Yep.

Coach: Okay.

I guess only POLITE hijackers are concerned with Air Traffic Control.
