First time he's had to eject someone in 15 years? You're right... Where has he been? Back home in WI, I had to toss someone almost once a week. Cursing at players, nearly starting fights... All in the name of "good evening fun."

But you get these idiots who watch the Majors do it all the time and think, "hey, that's how you get it done." Personally, I think they should eliminate collisions, take-out slides and phantom tags from the majors. Collisions and take-out slides are the cheaters' cheap way of getting what they want at the expense of another's livelihood (how many shortstops have had to retire early because some idiot kicked out their kneecaps?). Those being gone, phantom tags wouldn't be necessary, bringing the game back to how it should be played.

Kids in little league watch these players get away with it, then emulate the behavior on their local fields. They later grow up and pull these kinds of stunts in co-ed softball games (how many times have we watched a slow-pitch player and said, "I'll bet you my next paycheck he played baseball?").

Throw the book at this moron. Absolutely no call for that, and I don't tolerate it on my field.
