It doesn't sound like much of a threat to me: "if you don't let me umpire my daughter's games and potentially give close calls your way, I won't let her play."
I wouldn't call it blackmail, but rather a conflict of interest. For an umpire, this is bizarre behavior, to say the least. When I was a kid playing softball, my dad umpired my games in our local league. He was VERY fair, but I still got sh1t from my teammates for it. I'm sure this girl's team does the same, considering the behavior of her father... Poor girl.

Dave 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.
