Epiphany!

[greymule]

Did a slow-pitch tournament this past weekend and had an epiphany. After all these years, I now realize exactly what my purpose on the field is. It involves two objectives: (1) to take the bat out of batters' hands, and (2) to make the pitcher put the ball on a tee. It is interesting that both objectives can be accomplished simultaneously.

Throughout each game, the players of both teams made it clear to me that that was what I was doing. After the games, they expressed satisfaction with the job I had done.

It's nice to know what you're doing behind the plate.

greymule,

(1) to take the bat out of batters' hands

Does this mean big strike zone?


(2) to make the pitcher put the ball on a tee.

Does this mean little strike zone?

Sounds like you did it somehow!
