I am signalling to my hitters from the 3B coach's box one day, when I randomly throw in a closed fist, which meant nothing. The jackass opposing coach yells to his pitcher "Taking!" I do it again, and he does the same thing. Between innings, I gather up my team: "Listen, this moron thinks I have a take sign, which is a closed fist, and he's tipping his pitcher when he sees it. I'm going to start throwing it left and right, he's going to tip his pitcher, and you look for a fastball right down the pipe. When you see it, let it rip." We got a few extra hits before they finally decided that maybe there was no "take sign."
