I'm with you Chuck. While I will not accept a protest from the ejected coach, I have no problem with the next in line "escorting" him out of the dugout insuring his timely departure and then coming to me and politely announcing his protest. I know darn well that the protest is from the ejected coach who has given up his rights but I see no reason to punish the team if I made a protestable call and their coach was an idiot. Besides, around these parts the park district takes a deposit on protests and since the ratio of protests failed to upheld is about 100-1 I see no reason to take that money out of the park's coffers.
