Our backstop is not huge and if you sit front row, off to the side a bit, you can hear everything between pitches. The players (on both teams) will go at it with college umps, and they have no problem giving it back. I've heard some of this throughout the season, coach usually comes in and gets into it with him instead but I guess - not surprising.

You start to see the same crews and by Sunday you're on a first name basis with some of the guys.

Overheard this weekend:

Pitcher: Call a F*%^&% strike ______ (umpire first name)

Umpire: Throw a F$%$I@ strike _________ (pitcher first name)
