"You guys have a such great view from here, I figured the call would be easy" and proceeded to make my way back to the plate.!!!

Per your threat, for the remainder of the game no questions could be asked by this coach. Must have been a shining moment for you.

I'm wondering if it was a nod or if your partenr was dropping his head in shame being on the same field with you.

If that's the only thing you were accused of after that game, you had a good day.
