I dont keep track........
I primarily do Mens Slow Pitch in Park leagues. Tossing the coach usually doesnt happen to often. However, I can usually count on an a couple ejections each year for players.
The one I remember the most was an ejection after the very first pitch of the game. Batter watches a real good pitch come through his strike zone and it lands about an inch off the outside of the plate. I call it a strike, because it came through his strike zone. He puts the ball in the mark and says "See where it landed?" I said "Sir, it crossed the plate through your strike zone. Lets play." Pitcher is getting ready to pitch the ball and the batter looks back at me and says "What a F'd up call that was." I immediately called TIME! and asked him to vacate the premises. Coach comes out and ask what happened. I told him and the coach looks at his teammate and tells him to go home.
I dont know about everyone else, but I just dont put up with a lot of crap. Doing Adult Rec leagues seems a bit different than having the "organized" Manager in HS and college situation. Many of the players try to get away with a lot of stuff and I just wont let them.
I usually toss 3 to 4 players each year. The most common reason is because they cant leave the beer in the cooler until the game is done.
