Beer league guys dont like cops being called.

So call them if you have too, but thats it. Thats your resignation.

Or watch your back BIG TIME.

What if the player is a cop for the town in which he's playing?

That just makes the experience more enjoyable.

In what country? This is nothing more than name calling. BFD!

I agree. Stupid laws, but hey, I didn't write 'em. I just live here.

Here's one from DE:

It is illegal to fly over any body of water, unless one is carrying sufficient supplies of food and drink.

Hey wait, isn't that another thread?

Not unless you're flying the Gossamer Albatross.

And I'm pretty sure that probably isn't the worst.

Some local DE ordinances that may directly affect umpires...

It is illegal to wear pants that are "firm fitting" around the waist. (Lewes)
No person shall change clothes in his or her vehicle. (Rehoboth Beach)


Just thought you Delaware guys should be informed!

Actually, the one in Rehoboth Beach is quite a sensible law for a beach resort.

It was just #1... I would have left it alone. Just leave. No need to stick around and engage in a verbal sparring match after the game is already over. And in my opinion, no need to proceed to #2. Once you do that, now you have to stand there and get his team name, player name, and go through the process.

In the SP leagues I do, approx 150 games per season (when HS baseball is over), an ejection is a 2 game penalty- which, if after the game but still on the field, means the next 2 games. By NOT ignoring the action, 2 things happen:
1. All those players now know what they can do to you, plus free shots postgame
2. Other umpires now have to deal w/ potential probs that you didnt

Announcing "You're Gone!" is not a verbal sparring match....and trust me on this, ejecting the player DOES send a message that other players see, and most remember..who wants to sit 2 games of a 10 game season?

Man up, grow a pair, and deal with the sich....Oh, and I probably toss maybe 2-3 per year, basically cause the players recognise who they can push, and who they cant.....
