Worst double-header in history!

Now, now, you boys shouldn't be tellin' all of these horror stories. Most of the people who post here don't do games over an hour and a half because there sooooooooo good and only work "quality" teams games.

Trying to cite the worst game you ever saw is like trying to cite the worst movie you ever saw, but I'll throw mine in (although I didn't ump it):

My son's LL team traveled to a neighboring town to win an 11-9 game in which no batter on the opposing team made contact with the ball. Not even a foul tip.

Had a Varsity DH this past Saturday, started at 10 AM...

Final Score Of Game One: 17-8

Final Score Of Game Two: 19-13

Didn't find out what time it was at any point in either game, just knew it was a LONG afternoon. When we got in our car to leave after the game it was 5:00. Seven Hours - $90

Not to mention an hour drive each way...

Won't go there anymore...

I did a Freshman boys double a few years back. First game was ok, I think 10-8. I had plate the second game, temp was about 94 degrees. Home team lost 27-2 in three innings. Home team coach came out to me after the third and said "that's it, we're done, they win." Fine with me. I think the home team issued 14 walks and the coach was complaining about it the entire game, which by the way took 2 hours and 10 minutes to play the three innings. The visiting team didn't issue a single walk. I was more than willing to stretch the strike zone, the visiting coach even asked me to but the home team pitchers weren't even coming within a couple of feet of the zone. Two games, about 4 1/2 hours, fee of $45. Part of the reason I got out of umpiring.
