Are you serious?

Please tell me that this isn't a common occurance in beisbol. Even at the LL level, no one should be deliberately umpiring a relative's game. That's an absolute no-no in the sports that I officiate, even at the kiddie-ball level. We simply won't assign officials with an obvious conflict of interest like that to a relative's games.
