In fact, the players were terrible sports who used to trash talk each other during the games. Parents yelled at the umpires from the sidelines.

I was 9 years old and I realized that I disliked organized baseball.

The kids absolutely heckled the shit out of each other. It was bad.

I honestly don't remember my parents ever going to one of my baseball games (football yes, but not baseball). I'm sure they did, but just as often they dropped me off or I walked to the field. It definitely wasn't as crazy (in my experience) on the parent side as it is today.
