A couple of weeks ago my DD is guesting for another team in our org. They are missing their 2nd coach, so the head coach is all alone. I am in my coaches shirt (I am AC on my DD team.) sitting right next to the dugout doing GC.
Popup behind the plate lands on the HP Umps bag sitting up against the backstop (in play). The other teams AC repeatedly bitches at the HP ump that his bag is in play and caused the catcher to not make a play on the ball (I don't believe she would have made the play either way). Inning ends that the AC (now the 1B coach) then starts bitching at the Field ump until he gets tossed. A parent from the bleachers runs through the dugout and onto the field to 1b coach. He starts bitching and maybe 1/2 a batter later, he gets tossed.
A batter or so later our HC makes a remark under his breadth. HP ump hears and HC gets tossed. So, I jump up and get in the dug out. The HP Ump asks me where my USSSA Coaches Card is? I've never heard of this. I say, "I don't know what that is. I am an AC on another team in the Org." ump looks at my "coaches Shirt" and says, "Oh, you have a coaches shirt on. You are OK."
Can anybody explain what a coaches card is? I assume ump was making it up because he did not want another Random person involved.
Thanks.
