How many have been "bumped" before? By the catcher? Out of the ordinary?

Did you get support from the league? Your Association? Just curious.

I've only had one bump situation (well, more than a bump, post-game) and the assignor had my back and the league did as well.

Nope. Hope to never have one. Our group had one a few years ago. Guy got suspended for three games.

I had a catcher purposely duck a fast ball that hit me in the solar plexus and knocked me to the ground....he sat out the last four games of the season....association backed all the way....

cheap shot. I suspect a couple of guys who tried that...but they threw the pitches in the dirt. F2 blocks like a mad man for the entire game until they got ticked off at me and magically a ball gets through and drills me in the shin guards but hit the dirt first.

Not to mention looked like a good call. The pitch was low. Even without the stupid pitch trac thing.

Gasp! The shin guards?! The nerve of them!

Seriously, what kind of message is that?

When did yours occur, Brian?

My bump occurred this year when North Central College's head coach John Fitzgerald bumped me 4 or 5 times after I ejected him for telling me, "You're phucking horrible!" I had called out his BR for missing first on a double. (Never mind the fact that the BR stumbled very visibly approaching first base and ended up running right over the base.) Unbelievably, after I ejected him for swearing at me, he incredulously asks, "For what?!? What did I do to get ejected?"

Our Bob Jenkins here was my partner on this game, BTW.

Mine was probably 4 years ago, working a three-man game with Luke and another guy for an adult league in Aurora. Some fans supposedly heard me tell the wife of a coach to f* off or something ridiculous like that...from the third base dugout area while I was standing at the 45 foot line (no one else heard this, obviously). After the game we all left the through the other team's dugout, but that coach came charging around the field and pushed me and grabbed me by the shirt shirt. Luckily quite a few people were around to intervene. He ended up getting bounced out of the league pretty quick I think.

I agree...but if they're going to do it, I'll take that option versus one straight to the mask, chest, collar bone, nuts, etc.

Certainly. They can throw at my shin guards all day.

haha i'm gonna bump this thread...

Here's my question for umpires that have been bumped -- where were the police? If I were ever bumped at a game (not accidentally touched, but bumped) I'd be on the phone instantly and I'd be pressing charges.

In many states bumping an official like what we're describing here is a felony.

Forget about what the league is going to do....
