SIT 1: As PU, things were going well except for one lady in the stands. After several innings of complaining, I casually mention to the catcher, "Wow. She certainly is into it." No response.
A couple of pitches later I say to the catcher something like, "I wonder what's got her in such a mood." No response.
Then after another rant I didn't quite understand, I said, "Well, I hope her kids not getting embarrassed." Catcher turns around and yells, "Mom, would you shut up." I felt about 2 inches tall and didn't say another word.
SIT 2: Late night Friday of a weekend tournament. It's late in the last game of the night and only two young, good looking, sweet voiced mom's are still in the stands. They are talking with each other and I think they are not watching the game. After an outside corner strike call that one mom disagreed with, she heckles me quite loudly, "Well, I certainly hope you learn to distinguish a ball from a stike by the morning." I'm not sure I've ever been heckled so elegantly.
