Bad News Bear Bumped by Bev Hills Ump: CNN's Larry King Pitches Fit at Son's Little League Game
MORE The Transom
CNN fixture Larry King’s 9-year-old son Chance Armstrong King plays Beverly Hills Little League. King père is the coach of Chance’s team.
On Monday, March 10, during a heated game, the suspendered talk show host apparently got into a confrontation with one of the league’s umpires. “[Mr. King] was making a fool out of himself as a manager on the field, talking in the middle of the field in the middle of plays,” reported a source close to the action.
According to this source, Mr. King was told by the umpire in question to “regroup” and calm himself, and he did not respond well to this. Rather, the informant said, he continued arguing and was then relegated to the bleachers, where he continued to make noise, and was finally forced to watch the game from the outfield’s periphery.
An eyewitness contradicted this account somewhat, saying he did not recall the journalist’s movements throughout the game, but that he was certain Mr. King had not been banished. “He absolutely did question an ump’s call,” said this spy. “He was asked to cool it.” But there was no profanity used, nor was subsequent disciplinary action brought against the celebrity dad. “He’s one of the valued volunteer coaches; I’m pretty sure that he’s coaching today,” Mr. King’s champion said. “I like his Bronx spiciness!”
A rep for the journalist (who was actually born in Brooklyn) did not return a call by press time.
Young Chance is the son of Mr. King, 74, and his sixth wife, actress Shawn Southwick, 49. They were married on September 5, 1997, in a Jewish–Mormon interfaith ceremony.
since when is larry king a journalist?
When News = Infotainment, Larry's a journalist.
Another high-strung narcissistic jew. BFD - it's not like we don't all have TV.
Six wives?!? This Ump thing is the least of his problems! The way he looks now, he's obviously not far from Judgement Day, and what's he planning to say in response to the charge of multiple Adultery? The Old Testament defines it and this boy has completely ignored it, marrying more than one woman!
Larry is not a journalist. He even admitted to Katie Couric that he purposely doesn't prepare. He is an obnoxious, scowling, left-wing patronizer. But you, Jared, must be one of Adolph Hitler's disciples.
Nice picture Lar .... HAHAHAHA .... that's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
'Soft' ball Larry just can't believe that his offspring would be playing 'hard' ball. Check the DNA; I can't either.
CNN personality Larry King was arrested in December 1971 in Miami, Florida and charged with grand larceny. King, 38 at the time, was unable to pay back money he owed a financier he was doing some work for. While a judge threw out the larceny charge because the statute of limitations had run out, King pled no contest to one count of passing bad checks.
check out his mug shot...priceless

you are welcome

Another bunch of nasty people making comments. How does it feel to have that much hate inside of you about anything and everything? Finding time to direct it at Larry King when there's so much else going on in the world is beyond my comprehension. No one's forcing you to watch his show.
I umpired for years, and I ran across many people him. I would have run him out of the park.
Die already, Larry. You are old.
Die already, Larry. You're too old.
Crusty old geezer should keep his suspenders on and stick to his boring and irrelevant talk show.
King is not a journalist. He's an entertainer/celebrity. So, the person who wrote this story isn't much of a journalist themselves.
Hey Jared, your swastika is showing
SHOW SOME SELF CONTROL IN FRONT OK KIDS AND ADULTS BEEN THERE DONE IT ITS SUPPOSE TO BE FUN FOR THE KIDS TOO NOT THE MAJOR'S "LARRY CHING"
Right on, Marilyn
Calling Larry a "journalist" is like calling his wife an "actress."
