Alexander has a real good team. Hit the ball well and nice speed. But I will say their fan base is the worst I have seen to umpires this year out of the 25+ games Clay has played.

You had the Three Stooges outside the fence in Left Center field screaming and arguing every close call at home and first base. Must be good eye sight from 200 feet away. You had a group of fans two thirds the way down the right field line wanting to argue balls and strikes. Plus they wanted to argue every close call that didn't go their way. Fans were terrible to the umpires during the whole game. There were calls that were close that went Alexander's way and some went Clay's way.

Hopefully at some point these fans can learn to sit back and watch their team, who are really good, and enjoy the game.

There are a lot of teams in the area that have fans and coaches who don't know how to just let the kids play the game and take enjoyment in watching. These umpires are doing the best that they can and just do it for the love of the game. They aren't MLB umpires and do make mistakes at times. Whatever the call, coaches and parents need to understand that they are setting an example for their team in sportsmanship and character. We just can't yell at a stranger in public for making a mistake so why it is ok to do so at the ballfield or a game?

I truly feel this way and there are so many people afraid to say what is right and what is wrong. Thanks for your agreement with my post.
