I was working a semi-pro league game tonight (mostly college players home for the summer)in the seveth inning I called a balk on the pitcher and he was not very happy. After a couple of words by him, I told him to "take it easy" and that "that is enough." He then said that he is not going to take it easy and that I needed to "pay attention to the game" I then ejected the player

Now here comes the exciting part....

The coach of that team comes out and is yelling and started teling me how I missed a call from the inning before. He then said "F#$* you" I then ejected him. As I turn back toward him he says "F#$* you" again and shoves me with both hands in the chest and knocked me back a few feet.

My partner then got the coach away from me and the situation cooled down and we finished the game out.

While my partner and I were having our post game and changing the same coach comes to us and tries to apologize, but instead tells me I need thicker skin!


Sorry this was not really a question. This is just the strangest situation that has ever happened to me in a game.

ajjl22,
Were any charges filed with the Law, or may the next ump get the same "apology"?
