Only table person I ever got on pretty hard was the visitors' bookkeeper. First call against the visitors, when I got to the table she was rattling just like any other fan in the stands. "Oh, come on! He was straight up......." etc. I walked up really close and said "Ma'am, you are not going to sit at the table and call the game. It's just not gonna happen." She instantly got this OH MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE? look. After that, the only problem I had was that she wouldn't stop apologizing, every time I got close for the whole first half.
