Worst one I've had was a ball that was hit very short and rolled back to land and settle on the plate. Just as I start to point fair, my partner gives a huge "FOUL BALL!!!!!!"

Luckily, neither coaches nor parents complained and we moved on. between innings, before I have a chance to say anything, he wanders in and says, "Dude, that's YOUR call - you gotta make it!" All sorts of retorts came to mind, but I resisted and just said, "Yes, it's my call and that ball was fair - we'll look it up after the game," and even this he was pretty pissed about.

Needless to say he was very sheepish when he learned he was wrong.
