eww, guess i should have also added...this wasnt a protest on the umps, this would have been busting the opposing teams coach for a rule violation (he didnt get one of his kids minimum playing time) ...(little league all star game)...our scorekeeper caught it, BUT---the official scorekeeper wasnt paying attn and didnt know WTF to do..............so i guess it was a moot point but, i had a parent (whom i also coach with) that was jumping up and down about protesting the situation...................
