Arrow Teammates’ handslap to home run hitter erases victory
Teammates' handslap to home run hitter erases victory

This story is from a Softball game with a specific rule set down, but any one had any fun times with parents/coaches/uninformed passers by yelling when something like this happens?

Probably the same umpire that made an injured girl get carried around the bases.

Dam# - the rule book has an AR that says "issue a warning".

We all pay for the actions of imperious blowhard umpires.

Every day for the rest of my life, I will be ever thankful that Rochester coach Jean Musgjerd is not my wife.

I really don't think that was ever a possibility.

I really like the comment from the guy after the article that 'any coach who comes on the field with a rule book will be ejected'. What is the guy going to do when the UIC comes on the field to handle his protest? There have been UIC's I felt needed to be ejected, but alas, I have found it hard to do.

she's billy martin's cousin and a distant cousin of earl weaver. If i were the ump, I'd send her back to the bench and let her protest. Even if she wins the protest, it's highly unlikely a replay of the game would be awarded and if she does, chances are, I won't be around to umpire it. Yeah she fights for her team to win but at what cost? She showed zero sportsmanship there. There's got to be a balance between showing good sportsmanship and winning.

If it were up to me, I'd have the umps give sportsmanship grades for each game and teams that accumulate too many F's or average below like say a C will miss the playoffs and if they do it too much, get put on probation or something like that. If this happened in my Intramurals league, even if I had to give her a win, I'd give her a F in sportsmanship, thereby severely hampering her playoff hopes...

we don't need Billy Martins and Earl Weaver's running college teams.
