From the version of the story that I read, I think that the ejection was unwarranted (of course I wasn't there) and was done for publicity by the young umpire. The guy wasn't even coaching, and apparantly, a sunflower seed hit the cuff of the umpire's pants. The umpire then IDed Clemens by name and threw him out of the complex, and many of the participants and fans weren't even aware of what happened. I think before we jump to conclusions on Clemens and call him a bad guy, we should truly examine what happened here, coulda just been an overzealous young umpire anxious to have a story to tell.
