Our Little League insttuted a "parent code of conduct" this year that they required all parents to sign. Apparently some area umps refuse to run our games because there are some parents that are out of control. More than once a sheriff escort has been used to get the ump safely from the field. The former head ump said that two years ago a parent followed an ump home after a tournament game. How sad.
As for the mask to the face, I often tell my young players that horseplay involving wrestling a bat out of another person's hands isn't tolerated. I've pointed out that it's a bad idea because you don't want to make someone mad when they are holding a bat.
