Most obnoxious parent

[dbronstein]

A couple of weeks ago we didn't have an ump for our 10U rec game, so the other coach and I umped from behind the pitcher. At one point one I called a strike and I heard one of the other team's parents comment really loudly about what a bad call it was.

Pet Peeves:

1. Only cheering for your kid
2. Yelling "Safe" for your kid on every single play, regardless of how obviously out she was
3. Thinking that a FC is a hit


More to come...

We had an opposing 1st base coach recently, that immediately made the safe sign and screamed safe on every play at first. He did this before the ump had made the call which I felt, influenced the ump's call on a few occasions.

Yes, hate that. Horrible "coaching" -- that person should be a parent in the bleachers, not a coach.

I just saw this thread and this story popped in comments of a softball facebook feed.
