You know that one guy. The one yelling from behind the backstop. "Hey ump, you're missing a good game here!" Or worse.
It's usually a parent on the other team, right? Maybe it's even a parent on your own kid's team.
It might even be you.
Just this summer in Colorado Springs, two girls were charged with fighting and an adult arrested for third-degree assault after a conflict at the Four Diamond Sports Complex.
The disagreement started when a softball player was hit by a pitch and charged the mound during a game between Cheyenne Mountain and Wasson High School club teams. The umpire ejected the girl and stopped the game, but tempers flared in the parking lot. Police reports say up to 30 people were involved, some with bats.
