I was co-managing a park league, and my oldest son was on the team. He was seven, and it was in 1964. We had played six innings (regulation), and were ahead. We asked the other team if they'd like to play another inning, since there was still light, and some of the boys who didn't play much would get some time in. They agreed, and so did the ump. When we announced that we'd play another inning, a mother came out of the stands, screaming that we were cheating so we would have a chance to win. I explained that WE had already won, and wanted the boys to get some extra playing time, she left with the reddest face you ever saw.
Gotta love parents.
