in my 1st game, I had a pitcher named april. she had a really really long ponytail. everything was going fine, and until she started whipping her ponytail around. she swung it around like the guys do in a kung fu movie, then pitch normally, but continue to have the ponytail whirl around like a copter blades. I called IP.

coach comes out, and I explain it's a distracting motion after the pitch. coach asks if she can talk to her pitcher, and not be charged w/ a conference, and I say fine. as coach is talking to her, she starts staring me down, and then points her glove at me while giving me the evil curse eye. next pitch, she does it again, and again I call IP, and coach comes out again. this time, coach asks me to if I can show her pitcher what she's doing wrong.

as I walk towards the rubber, I hear a fan, perhaps mom in the stands yelling, "bad man, bad man!". as I approach, I see a very quick flash of a jumping player and BAM! I'm laying on the field, flat on my back, and knocked out for just the moment. apparently, my partner told me she jumped up and did a flying round house kick to the side of my face. WOW! so I ejected her from the game.
