Ref takes out South Carolina QB

<< < (5/5)

And I don't even mind getting yelled at to a certain extent.  It's part of the job.  It gets to me when the person is still yelling two innings later and by that point has started using my name.  Or when it distracts the kids, gets profane, or the idiot is referring to a call I made three games ago.  You can always tell whose parent that is, too, by which kid in the dugout is hiding his head for half the game.

I remember one incident in particular where I called a game 2 outs before it was long enough to become official... 3 parents went nuts because it was a playoff important game and their team was winning.  Sorry, people, lightning is lightning and that rule is not negotiable.  Or the time one dad went off because he felt the opposing pitcher was balking and I disagreed.  Truthfully, the kid was borderline, but it wasn't affecting anything and I wasn't about to call ball after ball after ball on him.
