Umpiring w/ the Prez

[Buster Light]

Several years ago, I had a similar experience. ;-(
I was working a 16-17 select playoff game in the A.M. and then a Legion game
about 10 miles away with an ECPECTED hour between games.
Different associations (MISTAKE NUMBER 1).
The first game went into extra innings, I was doing the plate and ended
up getting to the Legion game in the top of the second inning.
Our association pres was the assistant coach of the visiting team and
reamed me a new one as I trotted on the field. I explained the situation
and he got worse but I took my punishment and said nothing.
My first call of the game was to call his player out on a pick-off at first.
He got obusive but I let it go. The next inning I had to balk his pitcher
and he went off the deep end and I tossed him. I figured that would
be my last game with that association.
Quite the contrary, I got more and better game. That was a real lesson
for me. Call your game no matter who is watching or who is involved.
