If this reporter had his way…any mom or dad or fan who constantly disagreed with the calls of the men in blue should, after so many complaints during a ball game, be asked to "come on down" to the field of play and strap on the ole gear. After one or maybe two pitches, they'd be yearning for those bleachers and that haven of safety.
I use to do this routinely. Some idiot wants to *****, moan and whine about every call. Between innings I would walk back to the screen and offer the individual my indicator. When asked what I was doing, I had no problem suggesting they get their fat *** out on the field and do my job.

I wouldn't do this now. Now, I offer them my card and tell them the clinics begin in March.
