I am not saying this to toot my own horn, but for comedic effect in this awful story:
I have been umpiring for about 15 years. I have called everything from college to 8u. I have called games in seven states. I have worked multiple "state" tournaments and a few "nationals." I have umpired former Olympians and pro MLB players.
I had four kids play who knows how many games, including a daughter who played in college.
Prior to that, I ran a rec league for a little under 10 years. One of my proudest accomplishments was the addition of a co-ed t-ball program.
With all of that, I have NEVER seen anything as bad as the game I called a few days ago.
25-0 in four innings. Not the worst score that I have ever seen, but . . .
This team was so bad on offense that they only made contact with the ball four times (2 foul, 2 fair which were put outs by the catcher and the pitcher).
This team was so bad on defense that they only made ONE PUT OUT, and that one was dumb luck when a girl "caught" (found) a pop fly. ALL the remaining outs were the offense stepping off the bag.
EVER!
