One coach was cussing over the strike zone even though we proved that the City rules said "highest point of the shoulders" all that didn't matter. They feel that out of 78 games 7 ejections shows that the umpires are "trigger happy" two of them was on 7& 8 boys again for cussing and in your face. The umpires are high school, 16 + years olds and in their 20's. The coaches are 30 something or older. Coaches are also boardmembers
7 out of 78? Last fall, I ejected 2 players and 8 coaches within the playoffs! Then 1 player and 2 coaches in the final. All were either arguing balls & strikes or using the F-bomb nice and loud. And I wasn't on the plate for ANY of these games!

Can I come to this park in Lafayette, LA and umpire?
