First and only time I ever had this was this year. Visitors' bookkeeper, seated at the table, was protesting vigorously as I reported a foul. As I finished with the foul, I strolled up directly in front of her and calmly said, "Ma'am, you are not going to sit at this table and call the game. It just ain't gonna happen." Never have I seen an adult have the "I wish I could disappear" look to the degree that this lady got it. She began to apologize, more profusely that her earlier complaints. I dismissed it with a wave of the hand. She continued to apologize between quarters and between games, so maybe she got the message and it will stick with her for a while.
