Guys,
I recently worked a Perfect Game tournament. After giving them several opportunities to stay in the game I finally ejected two coaches because they were out of control. After ejection they went to the fence rail next to dugout- I went over there and told them by rule they must be out of sight and sound. Umpire supervisor heard me say that and told me coaches are allowed to sit in the stands. After that, coaches stayed on the fence 10 feet from foul line (not even in the stands where they’re supposed to be) and continued to argue and entice fans throughout entirety of the game. As a matter of fact one of them tried to come back on the field.
Does anyone else around the country have these issues working travel ball? Why does no one have our back including umpire site supervisor?
Something must change. This is a travesty to the game of baseball and it is ruining the integrity and the future of this game. Maybe we can all come together to form a union to get the pay and backing we all deserve and earn.
Thank you.
