So all things considered, I decided that, however irritating the catcherÂ’s constant comments got, I would honor my principles and not toss him unless and until he said something personal.

He never stopped his tirade about my calls, he never said anything personal,....

Kentucky Blue,
I am a little confused.
Catcher's verbal and constant displeasure did not make the game better for anyone.
You showed more patience than I would have shown based on your principles.
Did you mean complain and being personal?
