Okay, I guess I can pipe in here since I have a few more years' experience ...
I (1) always sit in the same seat in the same row behind dugout; (2) keep impeccable score on extra large score sheets ... in technicolor and with pen; (3) try NOT to drink coffee before the game; (4) pace (unfortunately with cigarette in mouth) near BBQ area when nervous; (5) holler only supportive words to son on mound; (6) correct home plate umpire only when he is wrong ; (7) reprimand field umpire(s) only when they make a call that extends my son's inning ... otherwise, I am cool as the proverbial cucumber ...
