Good EJ. I have story. I was working one man at a jr. babe ruth game in May.  I had a 3rd base coach give me a bunch of s*&^ after I  called his player out on a bang bang play at 3rd. I shut him down quickly with a "that's enough Tim." Between innings, he came to me and asked what he had done wrong.  I explained to him that only the mgr. can question a call, and that I'm not going tolerate him shouting at me from the coach's box. He was a soccer Daddy and clearly hadn't learned proper baseball etiquette. He then says to me, "I don't know why you're being so tough, last week at my son's JV game, the coach threw dirt at the umpire and he didn't even get tossed. Arguments are part of the game." I looked at Tim and said, "Those are the kind of umpires that make our job harder."

WOW!!! Threw dirt at the umpire... jeeze...I think my association would suspend that person. They have already suspended a player for the rest of the season for "Repeat incidents with officials"

Is that another bumper sticker?

Make one up for me.

I would have tossed him before the second wow came out of his mouth. The throwing of the dirt would have been fodder for the report.

Me, too.

Just started my 4th year umpiring. First 2 I ejected coaches left and right. Highest ratio of any of our umpires. Over the last year I have gotten better or the coaches see me coming and want to stay in the game.
