The only time I have ever been thrown out of a game was during a FRIENDLY! First inning, our lead off batter slaps a single on the first pitch. Next batter comes up and I have the runner on first steal. Plate ump yells, dead ball, runner left early!! I call time and ask how he can see the strike zone, the pitchers foot, the pitchers hand, and my runners foot all at the same time?! No answer. I then tell him its not even his call!, He says since he is the only blue, it IS his call. I go on a few minutes more, and get nowhere. After three outs I walk across the diamond to the first base dugout look staright at the ground talking to myself about what a horrible call that was and I guess he heard me, FOLLOWED me to my dugout to tell me not to say another word. I then ask him HOW he can make that call and he responds with, "THIRTY YEARS OF UMPIRING, THATS HOW!!" so I yell back at him, "I've been COACHING THIRTY YEARS and you're the worst ive ever seen!" The girls in my dugout start screaming and laughing cu I was only 35 years old when I said it, but its all I could think of, but needless to say, I watched the rest of the game from right field. HAHAHA Most fun I've had in a long time!! Oh and he was 5'5" and asian.
