ME 
So I am right where I am supposed to be just past the left field fence (not actually a fence a row of cars) in the car with wife so a 260 ft bomb would crush my windshield but it's JV and the wind is blowing in I'm confident best seat in the house all is good. We have the windows rolled down and the lady in the car next to us is just cursing non stop at the game and her husband on the phone; after three innings the wife has had enough and says "lets go on up".....and I say "sure'
it is a back and forth game the umps have been pretty bad and it is now 6-6 bottom of 6th. We have the bases loaded and two outs DD is on 3B girl hits a hard bouncer down the 3B line DD runs past the ball a 3B fields the ball right on the line to which the umpire yells...you guessed it.... "FAIR BALL" all the players stop my DD included about 2 steps from home, now everyone in the stands and dugout start yelling at the girls throw the ball!! run,run!! well the ball gets thrown to C who tags my DD out a couple feet from the plate, of course now enter the worst father of the year, a couple seconds later as everyone is starting to realize whats happened I yell "all you had to do was step on the plate" everything is fairly quiet now to which DD standing right on home plate not five feet from the umpire rips off her helmet not to be out done my yelling and screams at the top of her lungs "he said FOUL BALL" and turn and stares at the ump. Everyone is waiting for DD to be sent off, me included...maybe the only saving grace was the ump realized maybe this is why they told us is class not to loudly declare FAIR BALL but to point to fair territory and he walks away and my DD heads off to dugout. The girls end up losing bottom of the 7th 7-6. and I promise myself NEVER again stay away from the infield you belong out on the other side of the outfield fence and stay there.
