Funny you mention that HoTD. My Dad managed my little league baseball team I was on for a period of 5 years or so. We always had a good team, and even advanced to regional play for the LLWS. Never made it very far though. Anyhoo, as much as my Dad was a positive influence on the kids, and never came unglued at umps or kids, or anyone for that matter..the one memory that sticks out in my head was a ground ball I fielded in a very close game. I fielded the ball at second base, and just completely whiffed on the toss to first..not even close...ball sailed, runner advanced to 2nd, and a run or two scored.
Dad got up, yelled my name, pointed at me...and said "YOU"!!! It was the first, and only time he yelled at me in front of the team, parents, and opposing team. I was so embarrassed, and it actually brought me to tears. After the inning, the assistant managers consoled me...and hell, I think Dad even apologized after the game.
Like I said, 5 years of managing the teams I was on, and never a bad word said publicly, and we always had good teams...but yet, that is the memory that sticks out in my head. So yeah, overbearing parents suck...couldn't imagine if stuff like that had happened to me on a regular basis.

You are no longer in the womb, friend. The competition is tougher out here.
