Strange, we usually consider the "Nort' Joisy" teams to be the outrageous ones.

I believe you, but we're actually in Central Jersey, where the accent is more like that in Philadelphia. ("Why" sounds like "woy"; "over there" sounds like "ehwver dair"—there are no diacritical marks to indicate the sound of our long "o"). Sehw woy did dem goys gehw ehwver dair? We're a world apart from Nort' Joisy. To people in Trenton, Newark might as well be on Jupiter.

It looks as if I spoke too soon about outrageous behavior. Last night, on the next field, a veteran umpire ejected a long-time coach for some kind of snide remark. Then the coach refused to leave the field and laid a string of obscenities on the ump. This was 12-and-under girls.

I've done that league for many years and had that coach many times with no problems. The league in fact is very strict about the behavior of players, coaches, and fans. Before last night, I never saw anyone come close to being ejected. It will be interesting to see what they do to the above-mentioned coach.
