      The fact that there are benches in every dugout ... and nobody sits on them. No, in baseball, you sit on top. #LittleBaseballThings

      The small brush the home plate umpires use to sweep dirt off of home plate. And the way the umpires turn their butts to the pitcher to do the sweeping. #LittleBaseballThings

      That instant when a pitcher just knows that it’s going to be a home run and can’t even look. #LittleBaseballThings

          That gorgeous instant when the hitter rounds second and the outfielder has the ball and you know there will be a play at third but you don't know if it will be safe or out. #LittleBaseballThings

          That the manager and several infielders usually wait on the pitcher's mound to welcome the relief pitcher, offer a little encouragement, and hand over the baseball. #LittleBaseballThings

          The drive down the line that is hooking ... either a home run or nothing at all and we wait for it. #LittleBaseballThings

          The way hitters who foul one straight back and believe they JUST missed it will angrily slap the top of the bat.

          The meeting at home plate between managers to discuss the ground rules. There's something so wonderfully casual about it, like kids meeting before a pickup game to remind each other that right field is foul territory because they don't have enough players. #LittleBaseballThings

          The way the person playing first base so welcomes a baserunner to the bag, like a diamond maître d'. "Welcome to the base path! It's great to see you again. Please watch your step for pickoff throws." #LittleBaseballThings

          The way the middle infielder fakes a throw coming in to get a base runner to slow down ... and the way the base runner almost never falls for it. #LittleBaseballThings
