Tamargo

"Durham Bulls manager John Tamargo was suspended indefinitely by the International League on Tuesday for bumping an umpire during the Sunday's 1-0 road win against the Charlotte Knights. Tamargo was ejected in the bottom of the ninth after arguing than a one out single by Charlotte's Jerry Owens was foul. After the ejection, Tamargo bumped the first base umpire several times."

"The suspension of the first-year manager is the second major incident of the year for the bulls. Durham outfielder Delmon Young currently is serving a 50 game suspension for tossing his bat at the home plate umpire after being ejected for arguing a called strikeout during at an April 28 game at Pawtucket."

Apparently, the apple does not fall far from the tree. The question is whether Young learned his behavior from his manager, or vice versa.
