"High school sports in Texas can get pretty intense. Football is the No. 1 sport in the state, but baseball isn't too far behind. The kids get into it, their families get into it, and heck, neutral third parties get into it too. Sports are fun!
Sometimes it can go too far, however. During a recent playoff game, one of the umpires kicked dirt on home plate in an apparent attempt to get the runner to miss the plate following a home run. Had the runner missed the plate, he would have been called out"
