14U last fall playing against a team that hadn’t lost a game in the semi-finals. Parents and coach are wildly over-reacting to every call made by the umpires and making nasty comments at the Ump. Additionally, it had been a long day already so one of our girls starts yelling the plays and number of outs at the top of her lungs to pump up her teammates.
When our screaming Mimi gets up to plate, one of the dads sitting on the other side of the fence starts yelling “Hey batter batter” at the top of his lungs right behind her. The Ump shuts him down and gets into an argument with the parents, who run to the tournament organizer because the Ump told them to zip it but not our screaming Mimi.
We win and the other team is super pissed. The mom who ran to get the tournament organizer confronts the Ump in the walkway with her teenage son and try to provoke a fight.
Another favorite was when the opposing coach contested a play at home by sliding at home himself to show the Ump how he was wrong. The coach did not get that call overturned.
