When I started reading your post I immediately hoped that Kyle would chime in. Kyle is a huge proponent of utilizing junior umpires in LL games, and has given you some great advice. My son umpires as well, and it can be difficult to listen to some of the more nasty comments made when he's working a game that I'm just there to watch. You have to consider the source and not take it personally. The pastor of their local church could be working the dish in a game that their kids are playing in, and he'd be instantly villified as soon as a call didn't go there way. It comes with the job. Make sure to tell your son that too.

Tim.
