Friend of mine was working an adult tournament last week with teams from out of the area. Teams in the area know not to mess with this guy (and a few more of us), but like I said, these are teams not from the area.
Ground ball to F4. He bobbles, bobbles, lollipops to first, safe.
F6 says, "He sure f---ed that call."
Now, my friend could've just run him, but decided to pull a page from the book of "Game management -- Adult Baseball Style."
"Time. (Turns to F6) You don't know me and I don't know you. Let me introduce myself. SHUT THE F--- UP AND PLAY THE GAME."
It's not my style, but he said that he didn't hear a word out of either team the whole game.
Adult baseball is a matter of survival in many cases and sometimes the right answer doesn't come from Miss Manners.
