Early in my career between innings of a game, the PU came to the backstop where I was to get some water. I picked up my crowd mic and pointed it to him to ask a question about a call and the rule. I was respectful and wasn't accusatory, just curious. He just looked at the microphone and then me like he wanted to shove the mic somewhere. I took the hint and never did that again. I'm glad there was a fence between us!
After the game the crew pulled up behind my car as I was loading the gear and he said "Now, what's your question?" He was very nice and answered my question, but he made it clear that during the game he wasn't going to be bothered by the radio guy. Understood.
