Now we are picking on him

He once told me he was contacting the ASA head office and I would never work again (I was kinda hoping that would take effect this weekend since it will be 104, the fair is in town, and all.. but no luck.).
He can literally disrupt an entire tourney if allowed too.
We have one of those in these parts, as well. I tossed him one time after both coaches had been warned about arguing balls and strikes(partner was a newbie on the plate and was doing a decent job). He tried to keep arguing, and after I told him that there would be no more (a second time), he yelled, for all to hear, "yeah, but this guy sucks!" To show you how loved he was, when I tossed him, I actually got an ovation, from both bleachers!

In another tournament he charged my partner and did the old chest bump. Gone again. My partner also filed assault charges on him. The irony here? The guy is a cop.

I think he must've moved to NC, because we have one of those in the area as well. It's gotten to a point where his actions on the field could potentially cost him his badge.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

I've been moved once last year and once this year in HS ball. I was fine with it in both cases. In last year's game I mishandled the situation a little. This year, different team, and my partner and I did everything right and one coach still was not happy with us. After the game I remarked to my partner, "Wait'll they see who shows up to their game next week!" But, it rained, their game got moved, and my assignor was able to give me another game instead of move me. Like I said, didn't really bother me, though I kind of wanted to see how many more rules I could get wrong in that coach's game.
