In the scenario given, You didn't mention that the kid said something to the umpire or not. All that was mentioned is that he flung the bat and the helmet after strike 3.

In reality, after I drop the baseballs at or near home plate I am not even around by the time his helmet hits the ground. IMO, this falls under "Looking for Boogers". When the game is OVER It's OVER. Unless the kid said "hey Blue that was the worst F*****g call ever or something similiar It's time for a cold one.

You're gone before he throws the helmet and bat? Horse hockey!

So, throwing equipment around that can put people in the hospital is not as bad as yelling something at you? Good Grief!

Your responsilbity starts when you get on the field and ends when you leave the field. I have to deal with players who get worse because guys like you don't deal with them.
