I have actually walked over to the fence in between innings and made light of the fact. "Hey sir, dont you know Im a sensitive type of guy. Why are you yelling at me?" This can backfire and you have to know when to leave it alone but for the most part a little humor and discussion to follow, usually solves the problem.

Sometimes people will actually backoff if you establish some type of one-one relationship on a friendly basis. I often try the positive side first. Then if the problem persists. Well I just ask the problems to go home.
This seldomly happens.

Remember that "Stupid Dad" actully thinks your the stupid one. Take the smart non-antagonistic, non-confrontational approach and I bet most of the time the results will be favorable. Work for me!
