Worst Call Ever

[bkbjones]

So my call last weekend wasn't a worst call ever. I wasn't a worst umpire ever.

I just had the improper angle and distance.

Runner at 2nd, off with the pitch. Sharp one hopper hit to SS who throws to 3B. Throw handcuffs 3B, runner easily there, slides feet first, tag way up on shoulder, I am right there somewhere between 45 and 90 and have a great look. Call her safe.

Here comes DC running across field, how can I make that call, you missed it, I could see it clearly from my bucket 80 feet away, you gotta get help yada yada yada. No, coach, not getting help blah blah coach has his say and walks back across field from dugout.

Fat b*atch in front row, first base line:
"Blue you need to pull your head out of your @$$." Not butt, @$$.

All this fun because I'm covering for Mizz Lou to change into her base duds.

(Secret just between us: when I got back to the car I tried to pull my head out, still didn't work.)
