Defensive team comes unglued, fans come to the backstop to argue.

My favorite argument from a fan was... "I've seen a lot bad calls but I've never even seen that in T-ball!" Thank gawd and GOD I was facing the other way when he said it because I couldn't help but smile.

Had the same team the next game and managed to earn the "Worst umpire ever" award.
Keep up the good work!!
