I too bet that this guy doesn't even remember the event - or at least that it runs together with the other 500 games he's done and said something similar to an umpire.
We've all heard that exact comment 50 times - it's just part of the standard book of umpire insults. Don't sweat it.
Act as if nothing happened. If, on the off chance, HE brings it up, even to apologize, you say, "Coach, I do 150 games a year, and hear it all. I honestly don't remember the game you're referring to. I appreciate the apology, but truly, it's water under the bridge."
(Of course, this speech works a little less if a given altercation is just the week before you see a guy again!)
