Let's just say it involved a 20-year-old player on my team throwing the 60-year-old umpire into the ground when he was called out at third. It was the decisive call in the game, as it was the last inning (due to it getting too late, not because it was the 9th inning - a good sign that softball shouldn't be taken seriously) and the last out. We were only down 19-3, so who knows what would have happened if he would have been safe at third - probably would have led to a 19-4 loss and a 60-year-old umpire with 3 missing teeth. Needless to say, I quit the team immediately - I prefer to leave my 60-year-old pounding sessions to more special occassions, like Tuesdays.
