Like father/Like son

Was watching the game before my son's fall ball game. There was a father on one team yelling at the ump constantly. A batter for that team gets rung up on a close third strike, and the kid starts yelling at the ump. The ump kicks the kid out of the game, and the fan starts yelling more and goes irrate. The ump kicks him out too. Father and son walked away from the field laughing and joking.

So who do you think that youth league umpire called that strike on?........the kid batter or the loud mouthed dad?....chances are it could be either...

Yelling at umpires does not bring them around to your point of view.....you are not sowing seeds (as I heard it expained) for a better call later....
