If you look closely, you can see a single red thread embedded in the glass from the laces.

The only idiot that parked facing the field.

Due to too many of these events, the field my son plays at (PONY Broncoe - 12U) added a net that goes out over the plate (maybe 20' up?).  I think at least 3 pop outs a game become fouls when they hit the net. . .

Ours the other day missed the car and hit the driver square on the noggin as she was getting out!  Never have your back to the ballfield when there is a game going on...

One of the local HS fields I call at allows people to park near the field, on what is actually a series of black-top basketball courts.  Of course, there's a perfectly good parking lot about 200' feet away, but no - no-one wants to walk a whole 200' when they could just park right next to the field.

 

A couple of weeks ago, as I was walking up to the field before my game, I watched as someone's mother or grandmother sat in her car (couldn't be bothered to get outand watched a foul ball smack right into her windshield, not 15' from me but some 12" from her face.

 

Almost every game, someone generates business for Safelite.

 

It's never an umpire.  We just laugh.
