Along the same lines....

I'm working a rec level FP game solo, RH batter checks her swing, I call a ball.
Somebody shouts "go for help, Blue!" I'm having a pretty good time with this game, coaches are low-key, focusing more on instructing and helping the girls have fun, so I decide to have a little fun, too.

I pull off my mask, point down at the first base coach and yell "DID SHE GO?!?" Without hesitation, the coach yells back "YES!" and gives me the hammer!

After I did a double take, I said "OK", adjusted my count, and went back for the next pitch.

I think it took the first base coach about 30 seconds to realize that he had just called a strike on his own batter!
