King of the softballs, CNN veteran host Larry King was nearly ejected from his 9-year-old son Chance Armstrong King's Beverly Hills Little League game.

The New York Observer reports that King is the coach of his kid's team.

March 10, during a game, King apparently got into it 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 an Observer source close to the action.

According to the NY Observer source,  King was told by the umpire in question to “regroup” and calm himself, and he did not respond well to this.

That didn't work as King kept "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."

Another "Observer" noted: “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.”

Chance is the son of King, 74, and his sixth wife, actress Shawn King, 49.  Shawn King is currently part of a group of celebrity women fighting a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who they claimed disfigured them with injectible auto-grade silicone.
