Agree with HokieUmp, he was out of line for bringing it back up, but if I were him, I'd be pretty pissed at you, even after 2 years. I can forget what parents say, but you are held to a much higher standard. What differentiates you from a rat coach? Not much in this situation.

When you're a spectator, you're a spectator. Watch the game, enjoy your son, and don't do anything but cheer. Because of what you said 2 years ago all other parents around you must think its okay for them to say the same to the next umpire in the next game because you acted that way. So now you not only caused problems for that original umpire, but potentially for every other umpire that has had to work your son's team.

Yes, it's crap that the umpire came up to you 2 years later, but frankly, you should have said said nothing (aloud during the game anyway) two years ago in the first place.
