That Blue sure was pretty. One of your daughters no doubt. Guarantee I would come out to complain about a call with that one

Good job by the base ump. Great footwork, kept working thru the entire play to maintain a good angle and position to the play.

1. Hands behind the knees by a PU is baseball bawk bawk and not good mechanics IMO-pic 18

2. Agree that that particular umpire is much easier on the eyes than most of you smelly fat guys.-pic 3 etc
Does she ever stop moving for the play though?

3. If I had to say, looks like a fun time and wish I was there! The BS session with munchies a definate bonus.

Great pics! Only comment I might offer is on pic 25 of 26 - bring the chin up. Looking down is not confident. Looking up and standing tall is confident.

Again, I'm picking nits.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

That's one lesson I learned from when I took martial arts many moons ago. My instructor pointed out my tendency to keep my chin down during my katas, and he made a HUGE point of making sure I keep my chin up. Looking back (no pun intended), he was totally right. It does look more commanding.

I wouldnt tell him that but it is a better mechanic to keep your head up. Especially on a call I try to look at the pitchers forehead before making the strike/ball call.
