Tossing a parent before the game?

[soonerfan]

i don't agree with those that say the youngster needs a stiff "reprimand" from the league. bottom line being...he's a kid. not many 16 yo have developed a great deal socially and may not have kown any other way to react. he probably thought he was really going to have to fight that guy.

as for the parent...he's a joke and should NEVER be allowed back. to me, that is no question!!!! anyone that is so anxious to pick a fight, even with a kid, is a coward and should not be around our youth as any example at all!

some of us have spoken out that the kid, a mere child as an umpire in some of the most brutal fan conditions (younger ball), have thicker skin? c'mon, i think some of us have expected a little too much out of a kid that was in an unusual situation.

with the adult being the antagonist i would never fault a kid for trying to enforce a rule for the saftey of the kids. elementary i would think.
