Just out of curiosity...I don't like it and it seems to be pretty much universal only an a-hole does it...
Is it against any written rule that a fan cannot relay pitch location to a batter?...As "INSIDE!"...or "OUTSIDE!"
Aslo had a HS ump...(I use that term very loosely) warn my DD twice about 'slinging her bat'...which she wasn't 'slinging her bat'...It was a typical out of area umpire...
but I don't see a 'rule against..'slinging' your bat...beyond the rule of 'throwing your bat' in a emotionally or violent fashion...Is there a rule
