My son has been a catcher for many years. When he was 14, playing in a tourney in SoCal after an inning his coach asked him how the pitcher was doing (the pitcher was struggling). He flat out told the coach the kid was struggling so coach took out pitcher. The pitchers father was right near the duggout and got furious at my son. Dad then proceeded to go to parents in stands and rip my son. I was appalled at this behavior(never having experienced this) and told him quietly that on our team we, as parents, never critisize players or coaches in the stands. To this day, they're 18, the parents of that pitcher don't like my son. They have carried a grudge all through being teammates in high school!!! Personally I think my son has always been fair and can't understand why these parents have carried a grudge for so long.
