Plate Umpire ejects himself in 3rd inning
Hello
I have been involved in officiating 3 sports for a number of years but i have never heard of this before. During and American Legion tournament game this past weekend a umpire walked off the field in the bottom of the 3rd inning because the fans and players were so horrible. Basically the fans and players
got to him. I always use the philosophy the more they yell the harder im gonna umpire the ball game and show them just how good i really am. The umpire did mention to the coach that he needs to get the crowd and players under control and he didnt, so the umpire basically ejected himself from the ball game. Has anyone else ever encountered and incident like this before? How would you have handled the situation that unfolded in this game?
Thanks
