How bout you use softball signals and mechanics when working softball games and stop trying to mix in baseball stuff like so many other umpires?

Furthermore, how bout reading a softball umpire manual (ASA, NFHS, CCA, any one will do for this purpose), specifically the section on signals and why they are the way they are.

I agree with you about Dale Scott but I don't look to the pros when working on my signals.
