We had 2 ejections all year.
I've already had 3 by myself for unsportsmanlike conduct, and I'll admit I have a fairly high tolerance for some BS. One was due to a cuss-fest directed at me, the other two were for confrontations at the end of the game.

Then again, I also usually call 3 games per night, 4-5 nights per week. At the end of the year, it's usually about 250 games per year.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
