I am a bast yard

I was the BU of the loser bracket semi-final for High School Regional and it was a close one until the sixth inning when the home team scored 5 runs on solid line drives.

After the game a fan (and I assume the father of one of the players) caught I and my partner from behind and as we walked away from him, he grabbed me by shoulder to get me turned around and proceeded to stick his finger in my chest and called me a:

[I]bas·tard
n.
A child born out of wedlock.
Something that is of irregular, inferior, or dubious origin.
Slang. A person, especially one who is held to be mean or disagreeable.

adj.
Born of unwed parents; illegitimate.
Not genuine; spurious: a ******* style of architecture.
Resembling a known kind or species but not truly such. )[/
I]

He than proceeded to yell at me for "for taking the game out of the players hands".

I turned and walked away.

Sounds like an assault charge to me.

Too much of a compliment calling him a fan - maybe bystander or stretching it a little, spectator. That's without getting out my dictionary for what I really think.


Amazing how many recent posts we have that make us think 9-1-1.

Definitely an assault charge. Hopefully you filed this with the local PD as soon as you "walked away."

Protect yourself first, then as you are driving your knee into his spine to control him, ask your partner to hand you the phone so you can call 9-1-1.
