Yeah – I was in Little League for 25 years and saw a LOT of that.
Fathers who thought their son would be the next phenom in baseball, coaches who thought they were coaching the Yankees in the World Series, Mothers who could swear like Longshoremen.
I was the Umpire in Chief for my last 15 years. One day, after a father threatened me for calling his son out on strikes, I walked into the LL office and told the league president that I was through.
