While I would never take an ejection away from a partner who saw the offense happen, I would never hesitate to dump someone who did something behind my partner's back. See ya!

It reminds me of the fastest game I ever had. While I never got the chance to dump a manager during the pre-game plate conference, I did manage to toss the first batter of the game.

I was working the bases, the kid takes strike three called, PU turns to the right to pull the chain, meanwhile kid flings bat as hard as he can toward his dugout (third base side). He nearly decapitates the on-deck hitter, and the bat hits the fence and rebounds toward the foul line. All this happened while my partner was doing his slo-mo Dutch Rennert style call. He had no idea what happened, as it happened so quickly.

I ran the kid all the way from A, with gusto and flourish.

As it happened, the ejection took his team down to eight players, and cost his team the game by forfeit.

Game time: about 1 minute 30 seconds.
