I explicitly instructed him to run right through this first baseman if he was in his way without the ball. I talked with the umpire between innings and he agreed.

And my very frank is that if you're the coach, I'm tossing both the runner and you from the game.

That being the only reason which I have ever ejected a FP player.

No real umpire would ever agree.

Some of the other responses were not harsh enough.

Even the instruction without the player obeying would get the coach ejected.

Assault?

And battery!

I walk up to you on the street and intentionally knock you to the ground, I'm guilty of a crime. If you die, manslaughter is definitely in the cards, even if unintentional.

Wait a minute, you are in LA. Nevermind, in LA, everything goes!

But in LA, they just dump your a$$ in the bayou and let the gators take care of the evidence.

Well, not everything, but close!
Doubtful that you could get assault and /or battery charges filed in softball game (that does have train wrecks) during/in the course of a play.
After the play when the fists start flying... thats a whole 'nother thang.
But, thats just me picking nits.
BTW: i've never been "convicted" of feeding anyone to any "alleged" gators. I was out of town on that date.

Please note that I said "intentionally". Since crashing into and bowling over a player is not part of the softball game, then the runner is no longer playing softball.

Alleged? Boy, oops, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to offend you . Son,...damn, there I go again. Mr. CNB, there is absolutely nothing alleged about the gators in LA or any other area in the South.
