One of the umps i work with, shows a closed fist, hand at his belly burron for a caught 3rd strike, and an open hand (fingers spread wide) at the same positon for an uncaught 3rd strike. I like it cause all I have to look for is an open or closed hand.

We would touch our nose, like in the sting, when we wanted our partner to glance out in the stands. This was to alert him to (1) a reviewer grading us, or (2) a cute mom in a good looking outfit.
Yes, I know... if we were paying attention to the game instead of the cute moms, we wouldn't have needed to signal the presents of a reviewer.

Your reviewers bring presents?
