Not my problem the kid had anger and threw his helmet in my direction,i threw him out of the game right as he did that. As for the parents its not my problem if they are poor sports and can't handle the fact their team lost on a players bone head mistake and not the call i made.

IMO, it is YOUR problem.

Why!

The aforementioned Parents and Kid will be at the NEXT game, meaning another Umpiring Crew will now have to "clean-up" your mess as you can bet a "dollar to a donut" that the same behavior will be enacted on the next umpiring crew.

The kid for throwing equipment directed at an umpire should be suspended for the remainder of the season if not more. The 5/6 Parents that went to the fence to yell obsentities at you should also be suspended for the reminder of the year and since summer ball is almost at it's conclusion the suspension should also be for all of next year.

If you continue to allow such behavior at games you umpire in eventually you will get burned. It's like the old fram oil commercial. Pay me now or you will pay BIG time Later.
