As my mother always told me, you can get sued for anything. Just a matter if you lose or not.
In a day in which umpires are being sued (and losing or having to settle) for kids swinging bats in dugouts when 3 coaches are in there watching it all unfold or the first bolt of lightning (no thunder or anything) hits the CF and the kid is dead by the time anybody gets out there, liability is becoming a huge deal in umpiring games (or in my case, not umpiring them). Not something any of us wants to be involved in, people want to place blame when things go wrong. I can't not make them go wrong, but I can try to get myself off the hook before it happens.
