While most coaches would probaly be willing to assist in quieting the crowd, your threat to eject would not be taken well.

There are rules systems out there that specifically state that the manager is not responsible for the fans. In this an ejection, or more drastic actions, for failure to control the crowd would be a rule misapplication on your part, and protestable.

Rich Ives,

Don't get me mixed up, Rich. I am not at all for "threats" of ejection, however we are talking about little league recreational baseball. The players are rarely any good, and the coaches and fans are mostly uneducated about baseball...here anyway. So, unruly parents/fans in that type of league will only understand a "threat."
When you say "manager", you are referring to a professional or independent league level. I have been there and totally agree there with ignoring the animals behind the fences. I would say that anywhere fans and coaches understand the game and its rules, along with conduct for their kids, there would be no need for threatening. Again, keep in mind rec-ball here is roudy stuff for all involved. JOHN
