I may have told this one before, but it fits here....

I'm working solo, 12u rec league....RH batter checks her swing as I call a ball.
Some smart-a** yells out...."go for help, Blue!"
I whip off my mask, step out, point at the first base coach, and say..."did she go?" He immediately yells back "YES!" and gives me a strike signal.....then realized what he had just done, the look on his face was priceless.

I just shrugged my shoulders, thought "OK", and ring up a strike on my indicator.

I was once told that a ball that was lined down the third baseline, and struck the left corner of the bag, couldn't be fair because "It hit the foul side of the bag, Blue!!!"

Watch it or mbcrowder will be on here telling you there is no such thing as the foul side of the bag! Oh, wait, that's your point! Never mind!
