by the umpire to me....
this is the first I had heard about it... story also said that Little

Yeah!!! If i had to learn to remove my mask, manipulate my indicator and point obstruction and balks with my left hand, lefty's can learn to signal outs and...
Obstruction and balks with the left hand? Not according to LL and Jim Evans! The left hand is used for: Holding/using your indicator Signaling the number of...
