I had a case where the plate ump was fucking our team over. Since I was the catcher he'd tell me all about it as it was happening too. He'd tell me he was going to call a ball before the pitch and admitted that "You better swing at every bitch your next AB, because unless it's in the dirt or above your head it's a strike.".bluehenbillk wrote:Tell me any of you that ever played sports didn't want to do this at some point in time.
The tipping point was we threw a runner at home out. I blocked the late 3 feet up the line once I got the ball and the runner slide right into me and stopped - was called safe.
At that point all fucking hell broke loose. Our manager and right fielder were ejected. I, somehow didn't, even though I looked him in the eye and call him a cunt (first words I'd said to him all game) and I then just sat on home plate for 5 minutes and took my catchers gear off.
We turned all the evidence into the state that night - he had his licence pulled, was fined, and was permanently bared for every doing sports in the state of Iowa again.
Never once did I think about hitting him.
