The thread about "the automatic out when batting everyone" got me thinking...
What is the stupidest thing you've ever seen a parent or coach do at a game?
I've got so many, but my favorite is:
In one rec league, I had taught three kids to pitch well enough to get the ball over the plate with some speed (40 mph with the wind at their back). The game had devolved into my kids batting around each time they came up, and the other team having 3 batters an inning. In the 5th inning with us ahead like 400-1, One of my pitchers hit a batter, making her the third base runner of the game for the other team. The coach for the other team comes storming out of the dugout demanding that I not use our pitchers because they "threw too fast".
