Working a pretty high level 18U tournament this weekend. Worked 10 games from Thursday to Sunday.
Had the plate on a semi and the championship game. No problems at all. Everyone friendly. Until the Semi game.
Team starts losing. Batters can't hit the ball.
Pitch at the knees. "Strike"
Coach: That's not a Strike!!! Wake up back there blue!
And he continues mumbling for the next inning or so an any thing close against his team.
Called another strike on ones of his batters and he goes nuts on me coming to the plate to argue.
I said bye bye. Turned my back and walked away.
He continue to yell. chasing me as I walk away. I make it almost to the end of the first base dugout and he is still chasing.
Finally TD shows up and escorts him off the field. Told to never come back again.
There were a couple of Board members from my association and my assignor there watching the game. After the game they all said my strike zone is spot on and that's why they give me the games they do.
Seems like every week there is one of these guys. It's driving me nuts!!!
