Coach Attacks Youth Baseball Umpire, Who's Taken Off Field On A Stretcher [View all]
A youth baseball coach in The Colony, Texas, became so enraged by a call at the plate and being ejected that he shoved the umpire to the ground, viral video shows. (Watch it below.)
The Colony police awaited the signing of an arrest warrant for the coach on a charge of misdemeanor assault to cause bodily injury, police spokesperson Rick De La Cruz told HuffPost on Wednesday.
The coach, whose name was being withheld by law enforcement as of Wednesday afternoon, was banned from further tournaments.
“The worst thing was the kids having to see this,” L’Erin Hampton, whose 24 Sports organization ran the competition, told HuffPost on Wednesday.
The umpire, Sam Phelps, told Fox 4 that his neck snapped from the impact. A witness, Ryan Walke, said Phelps was on the ground for 10 to 15 minutes before being taken to the hospital on a stretcher.
