Sounds like someone needs to get a new score keeper, especially if this is a paid position.

It's not... it's just some random mom from the home team's fans each game.

uhm Mike? A little question: Are you sure she just a random mom?
To me it seems she ain't random at all. You've had twice an issue with her in two different games. To me it to much luck she's picked random to keep the book, while you're on the field. Or... she askes to keep the book because you're on the field!

I agree with Skahtboi; they need a new scorekeeper!

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 guess by random, I meant that before each game, we go to the home side of the field and say, "Who's keeping the book", and give it to whoever chirps first - if no one does, I hand it to the coach on the way in and have him pick someone. So, for this particular team, she's not random - she the one that pipes up. Wonder what happens next week when I ignore her and say, "Anyone, anyone volunteer?"

My partner agreed he gets half the blame for even acknowledging her existence when she called time. He was prewarned by me regarding the previous week's incident and we were both keeping score just in case. Next time, she gets ignored, and if the coach asks about BOO, we'll get the book, step away from the fence and ask the coach what he's protesting.
