I worked a 16B/18B regional a couple of years ago in Kentucky. On their diamonds, behind home plate, there is a Kentucky resolution that states, in effect, a limitation on the amount of "heckling" an umpire is to accept. It is a misdemeanor penalty and if I remember right, can be converted to a felony with repeated offenses.
The logic behind it is a player several years ago assaulted an umpire in the parking lot after a game. I don't recall the details, but I do remember a weapon was involved.
