K I got a story for you.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So this is my first year umpiring so im doing some easy games such as first year kid pitch. I mean Balks arnted even called cause there is no stealling and there is also a five runs per inning so there cant be a huge lead it keeps the game close. Well about the 4th inning the pitcher for team A throws about 3 batters worth of strait balls but the coach leaves him in hopeing he can recover by next inning since he dosent have to bat. well they score 1 or 2 when they are at bat but the inning ends (on 3 outs not on five runs). So they go back out on the feild for the top of the fifth and apparently the center feilder with out the coach noticing took a ball out with him and didnt throw it back in when my partner yelled "balls in". So the pitcher starts to pitch and he makes some what of a recovery but walks the first batter on a 3-2 pitch so i take my position between first and second (im umpiring at first opps i for got to tell you that). and while im doing this the center feilder Who has good aim runs up like hes going to talk to the second basemen and with the pitchers head turned he beams the pitcher in the back of the head from about 30 with about a 70 mile an hour fastball (i found out after the game he was a pitcher too). From that moment on Hell broke lose on that feild. Both benches cleared all 4 coaches and the 2 manigers of the 2 teams storm out on to the feild. The maniger of team A stroms twords the kid shouting and arangment of curse words and such "you mother F***ing Ba****d get the f*** out of here and don"t F***ing come back you little ba****d" so the center feilder procceeds to attempt to get out of there but for him unfortuneatly the only way to get off the feild (asside from jumping the 15 foot fence) is to go through one of the 2 dugouts and since his stuff was in his he made the mistake of entering his dugout. With about 15 teammates being forced in the dugout by one of the coaches the idiot runns right in to the dugout and they all pounce on him throwing gatorade on him hitting them with there gloves it crazy eventualy the kid made it out preaty beat up but with all his stuff, his mother then grabs him and starts cuusing at the coach and the coach cusses back then running off with about 5 players chaseing after them. after about a minute you here there tire screaching and leaving the complex at about 90 miles an hour. So, so far there hasnt been any ejections by us though the coach ejected one of his own players and it had just begun. By this time the mothere of the kid who got hit has made it out on to the feild and she is storming twords her son the homeplate umpire then decides this is time to put my foot down and he begines to tell the lady to calm down everything is all right, then she exclaims " I will not calm down that is my son god d*** it" then boom the foots droped the home plate umpire screams "you out of here" the mother now in tears tring to get to her son is restrained by the security gaurds. While the coach is starting to get in control of him self he starts talking to the other coach " what did i do i cant believe i said all those things in front of those kids in front of my kids" he then goes over to the priority of the situation the pitcher who has been lieing there now for about 5 minutes with nobody paying attention to him. He then gets to his feet with thunderus applause. The coach insiting on takeing him out the pitcher tell the coach to leave him in. With the situation defusing the home plate umpire is told by the security gaurd what its like to be a mother with your child in danger so he eventualy appoigises to her and unejects her (i dont think you can do that but oh well) and the game continued with the pitcher throwing a great game after that and eventualy winning the game by one point. So as it turned out the one person whos shouldnt have been thrown out was and the coach, the player that hit the pitcher ,his mom, the bench, at least 5 or 6 fans,and manny more didnt get thrown out. all i can say is at the time only the home plate umpire could eject some one other wise i would have ejected half the people. Now be cause of that game they went back to the fediration way of any umpire could eject so there you go you like that story.
