What Was Your Worst Call...?

A couple innings later with a runner on first, batter gets a base hit and there is a close play on R1 at third where my partner calls her safe. As the next batter is stepping into the batter's box I hear the coach yelling from the home team dugout, three.....three....three!! I called time, went to the dugout and tossed the coach. Coach had much to say, but I'd moved out to the C position as my partner rodeo clowned him off the field. When I eject someone, they're dead...and I don't talk to dead people.

During our postgame chat my partner shares with me that the coach was actually calling out a set play they have for situations with runners on first and third. F6 (#3) comes into the diamond for a short throw from F2.

All I could say was, I warned him that I didn't want to hear the word three!

LOL...That's is one for America's funniest home videos! That one and Mcrowder's! Ya know the one where the dirt around home was very slick, and the batter hit a dribbler down the first base line! I can still see him getting up from his fall and hustling down the line, wondering why no one is moving on the play. Then the ball stops right on the line so he points fair ball and waits for things to happen. After recovering from losing his bearings the 1B coach pointed out why no one was running on the play. The line the ball was on was the outside of the running lane. Funny stuff!....Yours and Mcrowders would no doubt be in the top three on Americas funniest home videos. Good one, thanks for sharing it! ...Al
