And that's exactly what I did. Frankly, I'm surprised this player has lasted as long as he has without getting tossed by one of us. While I was umpiring on another field, I saw him throw the bat in anger to the fence. Twice. The other blues said nothing to him. Finally, this moron screwed up.
Though I was surprised last night to not be able to find that old rule. Is there any reason why it was removed? Is there anything specifically in the book to back me on this?
