You couldn't be more wrong about that.
Sure, you SAY right now that you would be grateful. And then, if/when your kid got a bruise from where the umpire slung him out of the way, you'd be squawking about "pain and suffering," and hiring a lawyer. And if you personally wouldn't, I guarantee there are those out there that would.
(Remember, all non-umpire attendees at a baseball game are our friends, until something goes against them.)
The fighters at that game have coaches - they're the ones that can step in and get hit, or take the wrath of the helicopter parents. You take numbers, since you're writing the report after the game - a legal document, remember.
