But I never gave his being there a second thought when I ran the guy. He knows I have a long leash because I have a short list of ejections, and they all involve loud unsportsmanlike behavior or malicious contact. This might have been one of my softer ones. Especially with the older guys.
But a catcher says something like what he said about you, Johnny ?!? ... He goes as fast as my mask can come off. Any of that personal bias crap from a teenage jerk-off is absolutely intolerable.

Kind of assignor you like to work for.
That's just the way it should be...if he deseves it not a second thought regarding "politics".
Nice job.
