An umpire can sure as hell get rid of a fan. An umpire should use game management, but if a fan gets out of line and starts affecting the play, you can sure as hell get rid of a fan and not continue the game until that fan is ejected. It is your decision as an umpire to use game management to eject a fan.

Peace
