Most of the games I do are competetive PONY games 13-14 year olds on an 80 foot diamond. Parents still think their kid is a future hall of famer and all, but I've been in this league long enough (7 years) that they know not to get on my case. Oh, did I mention I'm 19 years old? Anyway, when teams from other towns come and start causing problems, I'll take my mask off between innings, and slowly walk towards that side of the fence, saying nothing, but staring directly at the fan. I'll stop and turn, close enough so that the fan can say something if s/he wants, but far enough so s/he can touch me. If they keep going, I'll go tell the coach to deal witht he fan-it works every time. Or I dump the coach...it is HIS job to control the fans, not mine
