I'm with Skahtboi on this one - something MUST be done. If you intend to continue umpiring and NOT be a doormat for the rest of your career, you need to show this guy (and everyone else) that this behavior has no place on a ballfield, or anywhere else for that matter.
Look, no one likes to be the bad guy, yet there are times when you have to stand your ground. If it had been another umpire instead of yourself, you'd expect him to press charges, wouldn't you? So why should it be any different if it happened to you?

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
