If the UMPS CARE Charities story didn’t get you in an uproar…how about this??
Next up from Central Missouri baseball game of 9-10 year old players. First game for this young 14 year old umpire. In fact there were two new young umpires out there learning. One of them is never calling again after this night. Luckily there was a school superintendent there and quickly stepped in. Punches were thrown, fight broke out, and cops were called. Coach is now banned from coming back to this town.
Follow up: All I know with the punches being thrown is the coach continued to berate (the two young female umpires) after the game saying how horrible they were. He was told their age and that it was their game. He still belittled them and would not stop. Then he started in on the players on the opposing team, that’s when the punches started flying. We left and got (our daughter umpire) out of there. As we were leaving the cops were pulling in.
