I agree with those who advocate parents keeping unsolicited advice to an absolute minimum, but what do ya do with gramma? We have one gram who starts the second the umpire says “Play ball”, and doesn’t stop, ever. It’s not so bad when she sits a ways away from me, but here lately she’s been sitting close enough to touch and it’s been awful.
What makes it bad is she’s always positive and sincerely trying to help, but it’s not happening. And who wants to tell a 74YO grandmother she can’t root for her grandson and his friends?

I could do that.

Seriously, I'm glad I don't have kids in baseball. It's nice going to something where I have no idea what's going on and just watching. Now, if my daughter does decide that she wants to be an umpire after all, that may be a different story.
