Two Georgia high school baseball players pulled a very dumb stunt recently in a state championship game. The pitcher and catcher battery went beyond poor sportsmanship when faced with losing the title game by conspiring to take out their frustrations on the home plate umpire. Watch the following video. It shows the pitcher throwing a perfect shot to the head of the umpire as the catcher makes no attempt to flag the high pitch. What does he do? He ducks down and pretends to catch what he thinks is a pitch in the dirt. It is painfully obvious the pitcher intended to throw directly at the umpire and bean him.

One of the two players involved was up for consideration for a scholarship to play college ball. After this incident, the offer was rejected, and rightfully so. Kudos to the principal of the school of the team the boys played for. He didn't make mamby pamby excuses for these two who hopefully learned a valuable lesson. The school, by the way, has been hit with a fine along with the possibility of being banned from tournament play in the future if problems arise again.
