Dumbest fan ever?

[orioles35]

14u Championship game: Catcher receives pitch probably mid RH batters box, and batter moves out of the way. Fan behind me, "Blue it's not automatically a ball just because the batter moves." I ignore fans, but said to the catcher and batter, "No, it was a ball because it wasn't over the plate." They both laughed.

I had a game where the pitch comes in over the front knee on a short kid,when the ball goes in the catchers mit,its in the dirt. Parent yellow "THAT WAS IN THE DIRT,THE KID NEEDS A DRIVER TO HIT THAT BALL". The guy was just so stupid it was hard not to respond,i said something to the catcher who laughed and agreed that the guy was a moron. I think both the fans you guys talked about are really dumb,but thats the world we live in where its gutta be someone elses fault.Hopefully what i said just made sence,help out if it didnt.

Your guy is Einstein compared to mine.

I was co-managing a park league, and my oldest son was on the team. He was seven, and it was in 1964. We had played six innings (regulation), and were ahead. We asked the other team if they'd like to play another inning, since there was still light, and some of the boys who didn't play much would get some time in. They agreed, and so did the ump. When we announced that we'd play another inning, a mother came out of the stands, screaming that we were cheating so we would have a chance to win. I explained that WE had already won, and wanted the boys to get some extra playing time, she left with the reddest face you ever saw.

Gotta love parents.

This one won't top anything:

Had a guy in an absolutely horrible baseball display, with the score like 22-12 or close to it, tell me after a call that I was "missing a good game." I told the catcher, "yeah, if I could get this one done anytime soon, I could get home and watch it on ESPN." The catcher agreed.

Runner on second. B/R lofts one in between 2nd and F6s normal position. R2 takes off, realizes not a good idea and heads back to 2nd... crossing in front of F6 twice. F6 gloves the ball, then drops it. Looks like an E6 to me. Defense asks and I say 'no int'. While doing so one of the 'helpers' yells in 'You need to know the ruling on that Blue? The book says he has to go one way or the other'. I just smile and say 'thank you'. Anybody know what page that's on? Can't seem to find it in my book.

That's pretty good.

My standard response is simply "not on THIS field!"
