Tossing a parent before the game?

[SilverSurfer]

I am a board member and caoch in our local youth baseball league. Our minors team had a double header on Saturday. After our first game had begun, I was pulled to the side and informed of a umpire/parent altercation one one of our other fields.

Apparently, one of our 16 year old base umpires, who had just arrived for a Majors game, noticed a catcher warming up the pitcher. He informed the catcher that he could not warm up the pitcher without wearing a catcher's helmet. (This is according to our league rules). A parent from the Majors game the BU was going to do came over and said something to the effect, You're pretty brave with a 9 year old, how would you do with somebody older?

The BU said that he was a league umpire and he was only enforcing a league rule and then walked away. The parent walked behind the BU and kept 'talking' about this. The BU had enough and told him to back off. The parent said 'I think I am going to go get my 15 year old son who's about the same size as you to kick your ***'. The BU responded, after I kick your son's *** I'm going to do you next'.

There's a lot more to the story than this, but I am giving you the shortened story that I pieced together from both party's involved as well as another player that witnessed the entire deal.

My first thought is to ban the parent for the rest of the season. The umpire was also in the wrong, so I feel compelled to suspend him for a number of games during our tournament.

What are your thoughts?
