I did wait too long. My plans were to toss him once he finshed running the bases, however when he gave me the finger, I ejected him before he made it to second.
I did not allow the run to score. Again, I wasn't sure if that was the right call and from the sound of things, i'm not sure it was legal to eject him during his running of the bases.....but that is what I did.
I explained to the team that the run didn't score because he never completed running the bases. Even though the team had complained the entire game....they knew the player should have been ejected and did not dispute this ruling....of course three batters later thre was a diving catch in the outfield that sent them into another frenzy but thats beside the point.
