LOL... Just another reason to say there's nothin' like fun at the ole' ball park.
I hope I get to do that same thing some day. ..Al

There was this close play at 2nd, I called the runner safe. This little old lady starts ranting about the runner being out "by a mile." One of the girls on the offensive team yell to the stands, "Grandma she's on our team." "Oh, good call."
