Baseball

Fans/Parents & Managers I can handle.
Players at the level I ump wouldn't dare raise there voice to an ump.

In California, any HS player that gets kicked out of the game, means they are suspended until they discuss with the CIF what happened, and they have to attend an Anger Management session on a Saturday with their parents. It also gets placed in their transcripts, which could affect their ability to get a baseball scholarship at a university.

So times when a player should be kicked out, I approach the manager and simply say, "Look, that. kid is out for the game. He either sits in the dugout and support his teammates, but he can't leave the dugout or I'll kick him out, and if you don't take him out of the game, I will kick him out, which means all the accompanying paperwork on your part and my part. I'll let you decide." Every time, the managers pulled the player from the game.

I refused to do Adult League baseball. Although they know very little of the rules, they will argue as if they do. And there is no structure for incidents that occur. In high school the CIF has jurisdiction, while adult baseball has none. So if you kick someone out of an adult league game, they might be waiting for you at your car, so they can try to beat you up.

But I still love umpire, specially behind the plate.
