First Protest of Year

[Steve M]

I agree, thanks very much for that protest fee - we'll stick that in it's appropriate place.

I had an opportunity for my first proest this year - actually I think it would have been the first in the past 5 years or so. But the protesting coach irritated me enough that I told him he had 5 minutes to correctly cite the rule & setion that had been missed. He made sure that I knew he was an ump and knew the rules - so I gave him the chance to show me, but he couldn't. Laughed for a while at the jerk's expense later on.
