My favorite is when I had a catcher who's been my friend all day. A pitch comes outside the zone (normally inside or outside, as coaches can't see that well from the dugout). Catcher doesn't even bother to frame it. Coach, after showing disgust with the call yells "(Catcher's Name), where was it?". Catcher replies "ABOUT A FOOT OUTSIDE, QUIT WHINING, BLUE IS CALLING A GOOD GAME."
Coach didn't whine any more. And I had a new friend in the catcher.
