I've slipped on wet grass.
I've had to run back to my car after groundrules realizing my cup isn't in.
I've called Foul Ball on a catch (the sun was in my eyes, I could have sworn the ball hit the ground, BU corrected me immediately and the smartass coach running out to 1st base coach next half inning said "Nice Foul Ball call". I just smiled back)
But my MOST embarassing moment...
Bench has been on me all game. Change of pitchers inbetween innings that wasn't reported to me, and I didn't notice. There's an injury on the SS, manager goes out to check on him, on the way in tries to stop at the pitcher for a prolonged discussion (more than a "let's get them") I think its the old pitcher and the allotted confrences are up. I wait it out, Coach is still out there. He's been an a** all game, but nothing that I could eject for.
As he leaves the mound, I call him over and say "Coach, you gotta make a change. That's 3 confrences for that pitcher". He replies: "See, I was right, your head isn't in this game, that's a new pitcher." I turned and looked at the pitcher and realized this kid was black, the old pitcher was white. I looked at him and told him to report it next time and walked away with my tail between my legs.
