Rec Ball

Young stand out pitcher (currently playing @ Charlotte) was pitching against my sons team. He was a natural; good form & a cannon for an arm. Sadly, he was the only real talent on his team. This kid threw so hard, his catcher could not react quickly enough to even get a glove on each pitch.
The umpire that night happened to be the Head Umpire/Coordinator.
During that first inning each & every pitch hit the poor defenseless umpire on every possible place on his body. You could hear him mummbling after every pitch.

Once the inning ended the umpire disappeared for about fifteen minutes.
Finally he came walking back onto the field, less his gear. He called the rest of the game from behind the mound.

Lesson learned.
