Mutt & Jeff <acronym title='Eject'>EJ</acronym>

Didn't know whether to put this one into Situations, Funny Stories, or Ejections. Mods can move it if they wish.

Provincial Championship game 15U. R1, 1 out B1 hits ball to left field R1 goes with the pitch. F4 is standing on 2B as if he is expecting throw from F7. I'm not sure what happened but it looked as if F7 kicked the ball as he went to retrieve it. R1 runs into F4, he tried to dodge him but F4 moved into his way. I call OBS and award R1 3B. DC comes roaring out of Dugout, You have to visualize this guy he is about 5 ft tall and he is hopping up and down as he is running. He's screaming at me "why is he on 3b" all the time jumping up and down like he was on springs. I explained to him about the obstruction. He says thats the 2nd Baseman thats his base he is allowed to be on it. All the while he is still bouncing up and down. Then the other DC comes out and joins the argument. This guy is about 6ft 3in. I look to my partner to come out and even up the odds. He is just standing at the plate grinning like a chesire cat. I look at these 2 guys. I EJ Mr Bouncy but he isn't going anywhere. I looked at these 2 guys and lost my composure. I started to laugh and I couldn't stop. This just enraged him more and he was bouncing higher. He said how can you get a square head like that into a round hat. Then everyone was laughing. It just looked so comical, there was Mutt and Jeff acting like idiots. We finally got him off the field, but he was behind the dugout coaching through a vent. I ran him out to the parking lot. I know it wasn't professional to laugh but it just struck me as funny and I couldn't help it. I made a report to the TD after the game and had a few words for my partner, he said if he came out he would have been worse than me and he figured I could handle it.

hehe....the only thing better would be if you patted him on the head and told him to get back to Munchkin Land ;)

Why didn't you dump them both?

Ahhhh..if you only had video . As long as you used proper, laughing the coach off the field mechanics, your good. :rollinglaugh:

That is some funny stuff...

You should have asked him if he has a hard time using a yo-yo. then ejected them both for the jumping and arm flailing.

Boing! Boing! Boing! "Hey Tigger! Bounce your a$$ right to the parking lot. Lurch, you're next."

Don't know which is funnier; the bouncy coach or the fact that these idiots think that the fielder owns the base he's named after. What does the shortstop own then? Poor F6 doesn't even get his own base. These guys must be part of the OWS movement, since they think F4 can simply O2B.

I considered dumping them both but compared to Bouncy Boy DC2 was downright calm. In the end he actually was the one who wrangled him off the field. The other thing was with no coaches the game would have been forfeited and that would not have been fair to the kids as they were the ones who were acting like adults.

Exactly!

Ain't this usually the case.
