I recently called a tournament where I was reunited with an
umpire that I once called a State 16U ASA tournament with. He reminded of an incident I had really almost forgotten. It was in another tournament we were calling in. Mid November I was PU. This is the set up game. Last two undefeated teams playing to see who went to the sidelines to wait for the outcome of the final game of the losers side of the bracket. Anyway, best I remember no score in about the 4th inning. Runner on 1st - 1 out. Batter checkes her swing - I call ball. Catcher wants an appeal...No problem hmmmmmm, well should not have been. I go to ask partner for help, catcher and I both look towards partner in B position. He is gazing upwards. I have already shouted, "Partner, did she go"? No response. He is watching a flock of geese flying overhead and out of formation. He replies, "I don't know  but that lead goose has this flock all messed up." "Look at em', some going South others North". Needless to say, we stuck with my call. Fans really got a kick out of the whole thing. No one too upset. glen

A little something i learned at a clinic this year was when confering w/ your partner, go to each other and face away from fans and other people, so no one else knows what is being said.
