Just had to share this with everyone.

had this happen in SP the other week from a guy who is a tournament ball player, and a SS no less.

bases loaded, 1 out, batter hits a high shallow fly ball, the opposing teams SS is backpeddeling into the OF to make a routine catch, i call infield fly... he starts yelling but hes (the SS) in the OF!!! i respond, i know, its still an infield fly rule, he dead seriously replies the infield part of the rule means it must be caught on the infield. i shake my head and turn around to walk back to the plate area and he continues to make more stupid comments to his teammates about my "lack" of IFFR knowledge

a few innings later (this is rec league mind you) the batter steps out of the box to think about swinging at a very outside pitch, but doesnt. i remind him that if he had hit that ball, i would have to call him out for being out of the batters box. the same idiot from before yells out theres no lines, you cant call out of the box. normally i wouldnt even dignify that remark but i have a problem with idiots so i chirp back, theres no foul lines in the outfield, does that mean everythings fair? that got a few laughs from both teams.
