My Dad was the Lead Little League Umpire in Cupertino California. Apple Computer was in a shop the size of a flower shop... YEA YEA!!! I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO WORK FOR APPLE!!!
Or at least bought Apple stock @ $40/share, the computer I argued with DOS heads was the better computer... But, I really thought Bill Gates would make Apple extinct... Who'da thunk Gates would buy his competition, invest hundreds of millions into the better computer company and watch his billions grow.
OFF TOPIC WARNING!
Trump... holy JEEZUS... 34 law suits so far filed by his shlock legal team, lead by Rudy "I'm melting" Giuliani with no evidence of fraud, no evidence of mass voter manipulation.
Trump just refuses to come to grasp he lost the 2020 election.
He's said to owe more than $800,000 to cities he conducted his MAGA rallies in... security and administration services unpaid... hmmm UNPAID... really Trump not paying someone... where did we hear that??? Oh yea in the 2016 election...
Trump used Airforce One, the U.S. Secret Service and White House funds to conduct his nose-dive 2020 election campaign.
TRUMP LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST!!!!
But, he's filing...
OK, so what did this have to do with my Father being an Umpire.
Little Bruce didn't miss a game. I was always somewhere at the field gathering foul balls out in the weeds, eating grape licorice from the concession stand or walking the bleachers. I never missed a play.
And every once in a while there would be a call heard around the park from my Dad's Detroit shout it out louder than a trolley car voice and someone in the stand would back talk.
My Father didn't take kindly to people back-talking but he allowed them to voice their opinions. He was very democratic... for a while. He would usually let the first couple insults slide "Ump you need glasses" "Ump you need to read a rule book"... the typical stuff.
But, there were a couple times when the "bleacher umpire" would get really nasty. I heard my first foul words a little league games officiated by my Father.
You'd get the Father in the stands who didn't want to spend time coaching his son's baseball team, he didn't want to volunteer to be an umpire, he probably never spent more than a few minutes at the park during games... he spent those minutes to act like he had balls.
I say Father because really overall Mothers of little league baseball players rarely were rude at the games. I think they knew the game was that, A GAME! for fun.
These guys would shout something really nasty about my Father... Because they disagreed with a strike or ball or out. You know, because idiots 80 yards up in a bleacher saw things better than an Umpire on the field (sarc!)
What's my point? what I learned from these situation is this:
IT IS NEVER THE PARENT OF THE GIFTED STUDLY BASEBALL PLAYERS WHO MOUTH OFF FOUL LANGUAGE AT GAMES. Every time it was the Father of one of the "challenged" players. You quickly learn that when a dummy throws the ball to first base off a bunt when the tying score is 50 feet from home plate HIS MORON FATHER IS GOING TO SCREAM AT THE UMP FOR LETTING THE TYING SCORE COUNT.
This is Trump. This is the sorest, ugliest, cheatingess, disgustingess losers of all time.
Trump, as I have named my FB group "IS NOT A PRESIDENT" he is a loser.
And Trump's Father would be in the bleachers right now telling the Ump's "I'm gonna sue the league"... Instead of spending a couple minutes with his son practicing baseball.
Maybe if Trump's Father has spent some time with little Donny telling him why you don't put children in cages, you don't gift rich a**holes at the expense of the Working Middle Class Poor, maybe if he taught Donny to HIT THE BALL… NOT SUE THE UMPIRE… Trump would not be such a
