Don.......
I would think that it would depend on how your association is structured.
In ALL of our ASA associations......there is a league official on duty for all games.
If a fan gets out of hand (making disparaging remarks about a particular player by name, #, or position)....inform the home coach the have the league official take care of the problem......if the LO asks you......tell them what you heard and where it was coming from....have THEM poll the stands to decide what to do.
If the diatribe is directed at you......ignore it.......there is nothing a fan likes more than getting under blues skin.
If it is threatening......again, have a league official take care of it and suggest that they call the police if necessary.
Our leagues always have a LO present for all games......and it is understood that the local police force will be called with any problems that they cannot handle.......there is a few of the cities that pay to have police on site during all games to take care of any problems.
The only time I ever payed attention to a fan was when there were some teenage boys that were being extremely rude towards a 16U pitcher........I informed the home coach to summon a league official......and between half-innings told the LO what was going on and she took care of the problem....the fans in the stands were very grateful.
