"In the mid to late 1970's while umpiring a Women's Class "A" NIT in St. Charles, it was raining and the diamond had become quite muddy," Charlie explains.  "The catcher from the Chicagoans kept trying to get my attention and I finally called a timeout.  She advised me I was standing on her shin guards.  Much to her surprise, she merely stuck in the mud.  After a brief discussion, I had to help her free her legs from mud and after a good laugh we proceeded with the game."
