Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 1962936"] Short story time. Setup: Little League (minors, ages like 6 to 9 or whatever). Game between two best teams in the league. Bottom of the 7th (last inning), 2 outs, 2 runners on base, count is full, my team's down 1 run, I'm up to bat, my dad's the ump (from behind the pitcher's mound). I was having a pretty good game and already had a few hits off of this pitcher so I was feeling confident I could knock in the tying or winning run. Pitch comes in at least a full foot above my eyes. When I say at least a full foot, I'm being generous to my dad; this thing wasn't even close... He calls strike 3; game over, my team loses. It was such a bad call, you could here groans from parents in both teams' bleachers. I've never let him live it down and neither has anybody else haha, including a good friend of his who was our head coach. His explanation was that he wanted to see me hit, not get a walk, and he didn't want to show favoritism. [/QUOTE]
