Seems like 20 (by rule) or 30 minutes is about right as was previously stated. Many times the teams need 5-10 themselves and then the new pitcher needs plenty of time (unrushed) to warmup on the sidelines before the start of the next game.

The league (at the pre-season league meeting) should have already touched on the rule about ejections in the first game of a doubleheader, which would either make the player sit out both games or let him play in the second, including whether or not the umpires should call after the first game.

I would assume for any league, if the player was ejected for verbally threating an umpire or bumping an umpire which would carry a more severe penalty, then the person who runs the league should be called and asked for an immediate decision after hearing a verbal report as to whether the player gets to play the second game, or is suspended immediately, with the suspension to start with the second game of the doubleheader. Once again, this should all be discussed at a pre-season league meeting.
