BRAVO Mike, BRAVO BRAVO!!!! While I agree with points on both sides of this little match, I have this to add, I went home back out to West Texas a couple of weeks ago to work with some old friends and see some of the people that I had worked games for since I started, an interesting thing happened in the nightcap of a very long day I had a pitch come in about a foot inside but hit the catcher right where she set up... BALL and of course out of the dugout "Where did that pitch miss" from the First Baseman, "Right down the middle" well that kinda drew my ire, so I took off my mask started strolling down the line got about half way there and was met by the coach from the team after he starts yelling at me I decided to eject him and his first baseman... go upstairs to change clothes and get out of dodge the tournament director come up to me and says I'm glad you got rid of her she's been doing the same thing the whole day and even worse on the other field, so I get changed and head to Chilli's to have a little food and some comraderie with other brothers of the fraternity and i ask the guy that was the senior person on the other field about her, His response, Yeah I could have ejected her but I didn't want to mess with it... Now which one of us looks like the jackass, to those in the buisness he does but to the outside world I do... now the $64,000 question Yes I would have ran her in a fed game just like I did in a meaningless ASA poolplay tournament... oh yeah the kicker the firstbaseman's dad comes up and shakes my hand afterwards and says John I'm glad that someone had the cajone's to run her
