The umpire, at my urging, filed assault charges yesterday. His coach removed him from the team. No doubt there will be other repercussions.
In my 50+ years of baseball, that is the only instance I've encountered when a prep player attacked an umpire. (In football, basketball, soccer, yes; in baseball, never, until last Friday.)
My question: How did a 16-year-old "skinny" kid (he was so described to me) break free from the grasp of two adult coaches?
