YouTube - Catcher Ducks, Umpire Gets Hit With Pitch

Jesus Christ.
Of course I can help with this since it happened to me and you, apparently, know about it.

Four things happened as a result that didn't happen in the video:

(1) - (3) I ejected the catcher, pitcher, and manager, and
(4) I forfeited the game when the manager wouldn't leave.

People that would intentionally throw at an umpire -- calling them rats would be an insult to rats.

This happened 3 years ago. I've moved on. So has the sorry excuse of a league.
