"Get upset" ? Frustration comes with nearly every occupation,
certainly not just sports. The issue to me is how you handle the
stresses and frustrations. I damn sure can't throw something at
someone during the course of my workday. It's a little thing called
"self-control".
I don't give a rip if he was called out on three straight in the
freakin' dirt, there is no excuse to throw a bat at anyone. Obviously,
some here believe that it's ok, as long as they have a low opinion
of the victim. It's kinda like bigots: "Oh, it's ok, it's only (insert any
ethnic group here).
