I once had a catcher that was wearing a sunvisor on his mask tell me the sun got in his eyes. This was the next inning after I called him out on strikes for the second time in the game. I stood up and told the Coach to "Lose Your Catcher, because he outta here." This was Am Leg ball. He was suspended for the season. Another time I tossed the Coach, pitcher and catcher afterwards. Catcher said "He fooled me with a curve ball". Just the fact that both catchers came up with lame excuse right afterwards was the giveaway.

You do enough games its going to happen.

In both cases I am glad I had good CP's on.

Without a doubt the hit on this umpire was intentional. He should have ejected some people but, you never know how your going to reacte to these situations. Just hope he gets backing from the League and Association, if not then by all means leaving the game and fileing a police report was proper. Im not second guessing anything this umpire did because I have been there and done that, twice.
