I had never read any of the rules at that point but I was familiar with the basic concepts of the game and no one else was willing to be the ump.

Looking back at that now it was kind of funny. The first pitch was a strike and I just internally thought, "That was a strike" when it happened like I was watching on TV. Then I realized that everyone was staring at me so I thought, "Oh shit!" and yelled, "Strike one!"
