After my last topic I wanted to wrote about something good... Working an adult league winner's bracket semi, tough well-played game, and only 1 ejection. Both F2's were great, I wish I had them all year. I am on the plate, and have already been hammered once by a foul ball, no big deal. Bottom 4th, and I'm in the slot, fast ball from F1 hits the plate, gets by F2 and gets me in the upper thigh, too close for comfort. All of a sudden my partner who is in B is cracking up. After the game he is trying to find something to laugh at after dumping losing team's HC. He says "you took a cup shot." "Well, no not really, it was close but--" "Don't lie, yes you did. F4 saw it it hit you and he said 'Wow he didn't do anything after getting hit, he must have b****s of steel!'" I think I am a good umpire, but never realized I am Superman. Will work on jumping tall buildings tomorrow. .
