I should probably give you some background:

Out here, everybody including the officials are more volunteers than anything else. Even the janitor comes back "after I have my supper" to make sure everything is okay and the doors are locked, and he's off the clock when he does it. To us, its just part of helping out. To be fair, the visiting coach is probably a volunteer as well.

The reason I liked the exchange is that it reminded everybody that the coaches, scorekeeper, concession stand kids, and everybody else is basically volunteering their time to help the kids. It was a reminder that, "Hey, man. He's here to help out, just like the rest of us, so let's treat him with some respect."
