Last season I was the subject of a fan's ridicule in a JV tournament (and many other games--but those are other stories). I made an out call that the crowd didn't agree with. A fan began to heckle me from behind the backstop. Unfortunately for him, I was on the bases and had no clue anybody was saying anything. Worse for him, my partner was a bit cranky after working 4 games the day before, and was in the middle of a triple-header on that day. He got sick of it pretty quick, and asked the coach of the home team to take care of the fan, to which the coach was more than abliged. The fan overheard this and went ballistic. Next thing I know my partner is telling a fan to leave and asking the coach to escort him off the premises! It was only about my 15th game, so it was quite an eye-opener to my rookie eyes.
Then there was the junk after the game because the guy didn't want to leave.... Ugh!
