"pointing the ball into play" Is this still used?

I don't about you but MTD, Jr., and I umpire both baseball (NFHS), fast pitch softball (NFHS, NCAA, ASA, and USSSA), and Special Olympics softball (ASA slow pitch) and whenever the ball is dead we always (with apologies to the late J. Dallas Shirely) by saying "play" and pointing to the pitcher.

MTD, Sr.

Not only is it still around, it was a "point" of emphasis this year (hahaha puns): http://www.cifss.org/manage/images/n...%20website.pdf
