I did feel something "dirty" was going on behind my back but I didn't know what to do about it. How was an umpire suppose to eject a quiet, disciplined spectator when an umpire is not suppose to concern himself with what goes on behind the backstop? I still am not sure what penalty I should have imposed. I have showered but the memory of the event lingers.

You do nothing about it! Your jurisdiction (unless you are doing MLB or NCAA) ends with the fence. Never, ever take your authority beyond the field's boundaries! We've stated this on this site for years on end!
