I can't believe the coincidence of this post!
I showed up at my son's baseball game last night, as an observer, and had the head coach approach me to ask about umpire interference. Apparently, just before I arrived the umpire behind the plate had a play at home, and decided at the last possible minute to step into the runner's path to move the bat. (DOH!
) The runner and the ump collided and fell in a heap to the ground. The ball was thrown in, and the runner tagged for the out. Man the coach was MAD!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave the bats alone!
