I was BU. R1 on 3rd. Passed ball we have a close play at the plate. My partner comes up with an "OUT". The fans are pretty close to the backstop. They all start shouting at my partner-he loses it and starts yelling at them about the play.
It was bizarre. It was pretty hot around here this weekend so I'll cut him a break,that and he is a really good umpire who had a not so good moment.

Just thought I would mention it in honor of this thread....

You know, like player, umpires occasionally need to "clear" the dirt from the bottom of their shoes. It's amazing how well-suited the backstop is for such a task.
