Batter won't even come out of the dugout!!!!

[IRISHMAFIA]

IRISH, the gate to the exit of the field was over by the home team's dugout, so I (not on purpose, but sort of by accident) stopped behind the plate to call the game.

Well, actually, I was working on what is somewhat of a myth among coaches and players that there is some magic in the words, "ball game".

I've heard arguments from "the umpire said 'ball game' so it is over" to "the game isn't over because the umpire never said 'ball game' ".
