That's good. We had this yesterday. Lefty slapper, 2 strikes, pitch comes in, she slaps it foul. Naturally, defensive coach asks PU, "Was that a bunt, Blue?" My partner says no, coach is OK with it, foul ball. Very nice elderly woman sitting behind backstop says, "If it didn't go 15 feet, it's a bunt." Everyone, both dugouts, all nine defenders, the batter, myself and my partner turned to look at her.

That made the rest of a hot dusty day a little more fun. Later in the day, a team that was waiting to play when she said it had a bunt situation, the 3rd base coach gave the batter signals and told her to keep it under 15 feet.
