Quote of the Day
“I’d say the thing I’m most surprised about is the fan interaction. Seems like the fans really enjoy telling the umpire whether it was a strike or not a strike. So that’s one thing I didn’t really see happening. I just thought it would be just a quiet moment that not many fans would even understand what’s going on, but they’re into it.”
