« Last post by DCPatriot on Today at 10:02:32 am »I once umpired balls and strikes for a Little League game as a favor to my close friend.
These kids just graduated from "T-Ball" and pitchers usually walked the bases loaded...inning after inning after inning.
Got so damned tired that these pitchers couldn't throw strikes.
Finally there was a pitch thrown in such an arc...the pitch crossed the plate over the batter's head, but the catcher never had to move he glove, which was held right over the heart of the plate.
"STRIKE!!!", I yelled.
The entire bleacher-filled cadre of parents screamed out their displeasure. It was the last time they ever asked me to umpire a game.
