Insurance
I'm just reading this thread, as I have had my say on the issue and will let others contribute. However, I just wanted to clarify a point on the previous post. Volunteers that work in associations, as well as those that work in Little League, are covered by a good amount of liability insurance. That doesn't excuse the lack of training, knowledge or expertise that an umpire may have, but it does cover them in cases you mentioned above. As for me, I have several sources of insurance, so I am well covered. Hopefully, the jury can see this guy you are talking about for the idiot he is.
