Don't know if you have ever been to the ISF Complex in Plant City, but the fields are those of a former MLB (spring training) facility. The backstops have to be nearly, if not more, 30' from baselines.

This player popped up and started down the 3B line, lifted the bat above his head. I quietly comment just so the batter and catcher can hear me, "don't do it". Next thing I know, there is a ringing from the bat hitting the fence in flight. "Number 14, you're done".

Best part was as the manager/1B coach was coming in, I tell him 14 needs a substitute and the response was, "Absolutely, you will have one right away, sir." Gotta love the English.

Hell, I'd a tossed a brit at the world cup for it too.
