Just one reason why I gave up SP after 1994 except for an ocassional game. I called about 2 weeks worth of Men's SP in a B/C league in 1997, to get ready for a 14U SP National that my ASA Deputy asked me to call as a host umpire. That was all the Bubbas I could take.
IMHO, the worst SP men are the lower levels that drink and play. The A guys usually are not trouble at all. Most of B guys are ok too, but the C, D and Rec are big trouble for the most part. We've had them back umpires into the fence, cuss 1" from their faces, hold up bats, etc., etc. Too much drama for me!
