I called him safe (happened to be a friend of my brothers)...both coaches said it was a good call...little brother disagreed...Didn't talk to me for a week (I should have made several more calls like that  )

We've all probably had something like this in our careers whether it be son, daughter, brother, sister, best friend, etc.
My first ejection was my brother. Didn't believe I called him out on strikes. Being my brother, I guess he thought he was exempt for any form of umpire discipline.
He hit the right words and I tossed him. He went whining to our father who just laughed and told my brother not to argue with the umpire.
I'd like to hear about someone who got a parent. Now, that would be interesting.
