Kid’s Baseball Coach Strikes Out in Defamation Suit

imagesIt’s the bottom of the 9th, two outs, and a runner on 2nd.  The home team is down by one.    The batter steps up, swings and misses.  Count is full.   The pitcher eyes the batter, and he lets it rip… A hit, deep in the hole. The shortstop snags the ball, and throws to 3rd.   It’s a high tag. Ouch, that had to hurt!  He’s Safe!  No he’s out!  No… well.  The third base coach is yelling; he’s a big guy, towering over the ump – It’s getting intense.  This coach is used to getting his way.    “A little over the top there, coach!”  What a spectacle. Nope, he’s still out.  The coach is irate.  A fan jumps in on the action and gives it to the ump!
