This a "true story". OUR summer Northern California team '18' and under players included 5 talented '16' year old players. Decided to enter the '16 and under National Tournament in St. Louis. We added 6 additional players from our League. Enter with 11 players and won the WS.
During the games I often challenge the umpire on strikes, however our catcher

would remark "NO Bob it was outside"!!!

The umpire thought our catcher resembled Yogi Berra and we now had the edge on close calls. It was a game we played.
