For the most part it is here, too. But every now & then, there's a jerk that will come out of the woodwork - it's a good idea to be ready for handle them when it happens. The last time I saw a book try to come onto the field was several years ago. I've never had a brawl on the field. The last time that I saw a fight on the field was about 5 years ago. And the last time I saw an ump escalate a problem situation was just last year. Like I said earlier, I think, there's a lot of beer at some adult games and that can make for the possibility of a problem. Kinda like driving a car, anyone can turn the key on, but no all folks think about what will they do IF....

If a book happens to come out once every several years, I really doesn't bother me. And, it's got a high probability of reinforcing the call in question.

I bet that ump that aggravated the situation wasn't too confident in his abilities, or he just had horrible timing.

Because neither is available, I don't do "paid manager games" or "beer games". But, I would do "Paid manager games".
