It wasn't a small one either. The TD and I had already gotten into it beforehand so I am sure the escalation with the police had something to do with that. I had tried to walk through an area which had an Umpires only sign on it as it was a much shorter route to the bathrooms from where I was sitting in the OF. I thought that meant only umpires could sit there but apparently not as the TD said to me "What, you cannot read?" when I asked him if it was ok to walk through the area. I then not so calmly said yes I can fu*(&() read and then said fine I will go around.
To be honest it really isn't funny although I guess reading it seems that way (the police even laughed when I explained what happened). I embarrassed myself and, more importantly, my family with the way I acted. Embarrassing myself is one thing, I have done that numerous times over the years in sporting events, but this is the first time I ever did something to embarrass my wife and children..not good. Hopefully that is rock bottom and I learn from it (and hopefully we don't ever play in Branson again since they probably have a picture of me in the USSSA headquarters over there).
No, not really funny ... but I can’t resist ...
You missed the fence with a water bottle? And you are hollering at your daughter about making errors?!
