I have to tell this one:
Earlier this season I was doing a Saturday full of 3 Bronco games by myself. In the second game, this pesky F6 kept trying to keep R2 close to the base by slapping his glove at him repeatedly, jumping up and down stomping his feet, kicking dirt at him, and telling him "back, back." The way he was jumping around made him look like a horse's a$$.
One of the assistant coaches on the offensive team's bench hollered, "he looks like he's got Tourette's Syndrome." This caused many titters and guffaws, and even a few belly laughs out of the peanut gallery. I, myself could not help a little chuckle out of it.
Of course, the defensive coach didn't think it was all that funny. He approached me between innings and told me that he did not appreciate the other coach's remark, and that he didn't want his shortstop being characterized like that. I said, "you didn't think that was funny?" He said no, but I could see that he was trying not to laugh. He knew it was damn funny!
Naturally, I found out later between games from the guy who made the comment, that it was the coach's son, and that's why he made a big deal about it.
