Not calling "Foul ball"

Thus my Pandora's Box dilemma. No wonder my counseling bill is racking up when softball season rolls around.

Odd...I have never had any confusion that I can recall when a ball is hit foul and I simply call "foul." If they think that I called them out, then they deserve to be out in my opinion. These must not be very seasoned players y'all are talking about.

I have never had any confusion or problems with the one word calls, either.

And one shouldn't as long as the umpire remembers this is a four-letter word that begins with the letter "F" and prounounces it in that manner.

I'm struggling to remember a player thinking they were out when they were not.

As much as that should be the case, imagine having to yell it while a plane is flying over. It seems like all the complexes I work at here are in the flight path of some type of aircraft making a landing or take off. The worse one is the one that's directly in the path of the Air Force base, and really drives the players crazy when the AF guys are working on touch and go landings and take-offs. A plane comes around just about every 10 minutes or so...I almost can do the time limit in my head from the bases based on the planes coming and going, LOL.
