"How can that be a strike?!? It can't be a strike if it lands there?" (veteran batter in men's rec ASA SP league, and no, the pitch did not land on the plate.)

Later in the same at bat, he stepped out and asked me to define the strike zone for him. I gladly enlightened him. He was so surprised, I think he had never heard the correct definition before.

My response probably would have been more like, "After all these years of *****in', you're just asking this question now?" or "You mean you don't know the rule, but you are sure that I've been wrong all this time!"

Nope, game time isn't the time for clinics. I'd be more than happy to talk to them before or after the game, but not during it unless it involved a protest.
