Dying of WTP Disease
I got kicked out of a game last night for the first time in over 20 years. Best thing, I wasn't even playing and the ball game was over.
Here is what happen:
My wife's women's team was in the bottom of the 9th (international tie break), the ball game was tied 8-8, bases loaded with 2 outs. My wife's team was on defense. Batter hits the ball to short LF field, girl was unable to catch it. So runner on 3rd crossed the plate. Ump was watching the pop-fly ruled "no catch" then eagle eyed the girl running home. After she touched home he yelled "ball game". But he forgot 1 important thing, THE BATTER. The batter ran about 40 ft and stopped to watch the girl cross the plate, jumped up and down, walked over to the dugout, tossed the bat in and walked to shake hands. Of course most of the husband's and myself seen this, so I told my wife who was playing 1st to get the ball and touch 1B. Since she did that technically the batter is out on a force play at 1B, which means the run doesn't count and they proceed to the 10th inning. But of course "NO ball game is over runner scored". So I told ump he was wrong, the batter never touched 1B so that means there was a force out at 1B, run doesn't count. He then told me to be quiet its not my ballgame. I then said "I wont be quiet because you didn't do your job, you wasn't watching the batter, so you don't know if she touched 1B and you don't know what you are doing". I then got threatened to be kicked out of the game and sent to the parking lot. So me being me I said "so you are going to kick me out of a game that is over and I have to go to the parking lot which is where I was heading in the first place, please kick me out". So he did.
