I have seen a rec coach start to address the ump as "Your Honor." You can guess what he did for a living.

I like that coach!

So then you changed yor name to NORM? :D

ya it is nice when one team is blue and they are doing good, but I always wonder when they are struggling and I hear "Come on blue, get in the game." Or "Blue where are your heads at?" now that makes me wonder if they are talking to me:mad:

I've posted this before, but it's relevant again.

I was working a game once where early in the game the pitch was high, but batter swung and I called a strike. From the crowd, "Come on blue! That pitch was head-high!!!" I ignore it. What a moron.

Later, on a close play at the plate, runner is safe. Same old man, an over-exuberant, "Great job, blue! Very nice!!!" OK, whatever.

Later, on a called strike three right down broadway, same guy: "Blue, Come on!!! You can do better than that."

Then, in the last inning, "Come on, blue, knock it out of the park!" And the light goes on in my head.

I had this happen Tuesday night in the Lawyer League playoffs.

In fact, it was quite a nice little deal. Big brawny guy (rarity in the lawyer league, but typical big a$$ slowpitch dude) gets an inside pitch. It's flat but he wants to drill it. So....his front foot goes about 10 feet toward third base so he can jack it.

And, being Mr. Smart Guy of course, I call him out. Way way way out of the box, foot on the ground, etc. etc.

"You honor! How can you call me out? I thought the only restriction was you couldn't step on the plate!"

And I did have a snappy comeback:

"Overruled."

Thank goodness you didn't say "out of order" or we would have had to start a new thread.:D

Could he handle the truth??
