True the rules state we don't have the power but there are leagues/ park systems that give the umpires the right to have people removed from the park. Our park made an ordinance to this effect that the police shall remove anyone that the league adminstration or umpire deems unruly. This was done in response to someone who stated "this is a public park you can't make me leave". So after that the Police Chief got with the softball UIC who is a park board member and they got an ordinance that states you can get tossed! Even with that in writing I try to have the umpires (yes I am UIC and Park Board Sec.) get a board member to "do the deed" so they can stay focused on the game.
