00:00this guy hails from cape coral florida and he was arrested this week after he punched an elderly
00:16umpire in the face during an adult softball game you get it though this guy's 78 and still
00:23umping games don't ump games what are his knees like 78 you can't you don't even know there's a
00:30time when you gotta wrap it up when you gotta stop you gotta hang up the whistle well i think you can
00:38go down to the bottom level but even there it's dangerous please say they were called t-ball to
00:45the northwest they were called to the northwest sports complex in cape coral for a disturbance
00:50with injuries about 8 30 at night they say aaron charles dorvac came to the plate to complain
00:57about a strike call that the elderly umpire made while the game was being played the two guys
01:02argued dorvac ended up punching the umpire in the face cut his lip police say he was ejected from
01:12the game he ended up leaving the park but he has since been arrested on battery on a person 65 years
01:18or older there is his mug shot yeah punch that old man right in his mouth he did right in his old
01:25man mouth listen i you know you don't want to speak ill of the elderly no but like we got this one time
01:34we got a uh an old umpire like i he was old right like 78 old or like old old yeah like 78 80 like
01:43retired for a long time i don't know how at least he was old okay he was old frail old and
01:49he in the middle of the game as like a one of the batters like went into the batter's box and was like
01:57warming it like taking his like couple warm-up swings he walked right out in front and the kid
02:05hit him with the baseball bat and so we hear this terrible noise of an old man
02:12and he's then he's down and he's down and no one really saw what happened so you just assume he's
02:23had a heart attack he's dead he's dying he's down
02:27it's so bad but the wheels of an old man he got up he got a baseball bat like what i think so
02:37he just wandered out in front of the kid he like wandered out like his head down
02:41and the kid just like boom like i hit a home run right off the side of his head
02:49the cries of an old man oh my god so we run down and he's like hey babo
02:56no what's wrong what happened what what hurts he's like i hit it and the kid finally was like i think i
03:04just hit a double right off his skull all right all right we're gonna we're gonna pick up the
03:12pieces here oh man so after he wailed and was hit was he okay yeah he was fine he ended up being
03:18fine but man it was touch and go there and then and we all looked at him it was like when you hear
03:24those sounds you expect the worst right yeah we did but like when you hear the wails of an old man
03:29you expect carnage all the coaches kind of got like looked at each other like this like we've
03:36made a mistake this isn't this wasn't smart no no they're done there does come a time i think when
03:45you you're too old to um you know your eyesight probably not the best you can't hear very well
03:51you have to you have to move you have to like move your reflexes are just not there you're hit by a
03:57ball it could just you have to like crouch down a little bit and also what happens is you think
04:03you know the game but you've forgotten stuff right but you're more stubborn than you've ever been in
04:12your hole even though it's wrong so even though you're wrong there's no changing your mind you can
04:18like show someone a line in a book and they can read it and be like that's wrong it's in the book
04:26please give me the whale one more time
04:30but the thud the thud was what really
04:36the thud was unmistakable an umpire falling onto home plate
04:42wow he's all right
04:46well i don't know i don't know well he may not still be with us he may be gone he was all right
04:53then my guess is what i'm saying oh yeah that's it for him that's i mean so that's our message of
04:58the day don't let your old folks ump no right for their safety and the safety of my dad all of a
05:04sudden was like boy i tell you i got a great idea what i'm gonna make a little extra money
05:10i'm gonna be coming up i'd be like don't because you'd fight he'd fight everybody oh god yeah he'd
05:15fight your dad my dad they should think you're right huh they'd be able to defend themselves oh
05:20well maybe they think they might be like a 37 year old who's ready to kick their ass right
05:26then it'd be different
