Heard this story from a district umpire about a partner he worked with a couple of seasons ago.
Dad is in the stands chippig the strike zone constantly. PU finally calls time and calmly walks through the dugout and into the stands. Blue sits down next to the dad in the bleachers and yells "pitch". Pitcher throws...."Strike". "Pitch"...."Strike 2". "Pitch"...."Strike 3". PU then calmly turns to dad and says "You ARE right, you have a much better angle from here than I do behind the plate".
Dad becomes mute.
Could be urban legend, but I like it.
