I had a situation with one particular fan during a tourny that I umpired. This was before I was involved with the local chapter.. I was 15 at the time, anyways... i just happened to umpire for the same team the entire tourny, and whenever my call was not for this particular team this mom would be all over me.. finally the last game she was just plain nuts.. so I called time, walked over to her, and said, if you think you can do a better job at this then I am, I would gladly give up my equipment and let you do it, she just kinda looked at me, so I said, wanna give it a try.. well she didn't, so I told her the next out burst from her would lead to me ejecting her from the playing field... it worked, she never said another workd.
