That's bad.

Pales in comparison to my partner (posted before elsewhere - sorry for the repeat) who we never invited back.

I'm plate. R1, R3, high pop up to F4. As it's coming down, the fans all scream, and F4 drops the ball. I'm watching R3's touch, with the play in my peripheral vision. BU yells, "That's Inteference!!!!!" and calls runner out. OK. I didn't see anything, but my focus was elsewhere. We move on. Between games I ask him about the call.

Verbal Fan Interference. He called the runner out because the fans yelled and caused the 2nd baseman to drop the ball.

So I wasn't that shocked when in our next game, he yelled, for all the world to hear, that I was a "F---ing idiot" when I tried to explain to him that a 3rd strike that bounced, but was fielded cleanly was still an uncaught 3rd strike, and batter could attempt to run.
