Have you ever seen the Abbott and Costello baseball skit if not check it out on the link above.

So this is my attempt to acknowledge that type of situation.

Mine is set on a Softball environment where the Umpires wear blue and are called blue when the names are not known. In both sports the teams must bat in the same order throughout the game. The first named batter is referred to as the lead off as they will bat first in the game.

The umpire speak is shown in italics.

Any bracketed words are not spoken and are there so you can follow what's happening.

"No way Blues"

I'm going to have to declare a forfeit.

(Farh Que comes over and the umpire asks)

Who are you?

Farh Que. What's the problem?

Well apart from all the profanity your team haven't told me your list or fielding positions.

Let me know what you thought.
I'm sure it would be better acted out. Hopefully though the humour transended.

If you liked please colour the star.
I look forward to hearing your views
