On a serious side several years ago we had an incident where the fans where extremely abusive (verbal) to the 15 year ump who ended up leaving the park in tears. Although no one was ejected the team was later kicked out of the league.
I usually don't have a clue, or care, what anyone outside the fence has to say, not even friends trying to say Hi when I was at a tournament in another city. However last summer I am PU for a senior girls game. These games have a substantial spectator turn out compared to the mixed league. The moms all sit in lawn chairs behind the backstop. One makes a rather personal comment to me as the pitcher starts her motion. The pitcher balks (not called) as everyone starts laughing. Now for my own future well being and life expectancy this must be addressed! "Madam one more comment like that and my wife will have to attend all the games and none of us want that do we!"
