Ryan's immediate reaction was to laugh. It struck him as funny that a perfect strike could be called a ball. After laughing for a couple of seconds Ryan turned away from the ump so as not to show him up and tried to wipe the grin off his face. The ump shuffled his feet and generally looked embarrassed. <br /><br />Honestly finding the ump's call funny was a greater put down than screaming or throwing a fit.TedTheCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654769865175210750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025826557590691038.post-71518368217331090302010-06-03T12:46:43.199-06:002010-06-03T12:46:43.199-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
