Yes. As it happens, in my area, every time I umpire a game with the league commish as coach, the most bizarre plays happen. I'm not sure my attitude changes during these games, though, other than sometimes having to actually make the conscious effort to ignore noise from the stands.

Last game it was 1 obstruction call that no one liked, one missed base appeal that no one liked, and one strange play where on a checkswing on a low pitch, pitch hits the black and bounces over the catcher and myself. Everyone except me, BU, and the runners on 2nd and 3rd thought it was a foul ball. Both runners scored as F2 lollygagged, and the fans were on me the rest of the game. Fun stuff.
