A good friend of mine, Phil De La Rosa, told this tale (?).

"I was working a 10U game and the young lady catching was missing 2 out of every three pitches. After getting hit for the fourth or fifth time, I turned to the coach and told him that if the catcher wasn't going to do a better job she would have to be replaced. The young catcher, obviously wiser beyond her years, turned around and said, 'Sir, you chose this profession. Now stand back there and take it like a man.' I couldn't call pitches for 10 minutes because I was crying from laughing so hard."

Nobody said our job was going to be easy.
