I got repeatedly bumped and beaked by a batter I called out on strikes in a MSBL game. He turned on me and went at it Billy Martin style. I didn't back up and I didn't swear of scream anything I regret. But when his saliva went into my mouth during one of his screams, I flung him away from me, and his late-arriving teammates collared him before he could charge back at me. I told the teammates that if they didn't carry him off the property in one minute, the game's over.
The catcher and pitcher and the player's manager all called the league president before I did. Their accounts matched mine. The president told me that as of this minute, the guy is thrown out of the league.
So it went the way it's supposed to go. If it didn't, I would have walked.
