And do you keep is right next to the velcro umpires glove that your indicator sticks too?

A few years ago, I found myself SQUEEEZING my indicator so hard, I started to get the cramps mentioned in the ad...my solution? I perfected twirling the indicator using two fingers sort of like a gunslinger in the movies does - I have got so good at it, I have only dropped it once in the last three years! I might do it once a batter working the plate, but ALL the freaking time on the bases...i have one friend who taps his indicator on his other hand...
