I was given the WOE award recently when I failed to overrule my partner who made the Worst Call in the History of Sports. 2 awards on the same play. We were quite proud.
(Oh, and nevermind that the coach never, not once in his self-ejection, asked partner to come to me. And also nevermind that if she had, I saw exactly what she did - a fielder failing to tag a runner with a ball she was not even in possession of. Coach's entire argument hinged on "That ball beat her by 4 steps" - sure it did. Too bad no one caught it - and even if she did ... she never touched the runner (with neither the glove, hand, nor ball) !)
Funny comment from one of their parents when coach used up his leash and much of the leash for his next game and was finally tossed... After the ejection was signalled, one guy says, "That's the first thing they've done right."
