Thank you
Chuck:
Thank you for the clarification.
Having worked both baseball and basketball at many levels I have not seem "many" fans ejected (those that actually did not come on the field or the court).
Many years ago I was at a site waiting to work the second game of a Christmas Double Header.
After a few very emotional calls against one of the teams (all made by one specific official) there was a free throw situation where the "culprit" was lead standing under the basket during a multiple throw.
A small, older man moves out of the crowd and walks right down the end line . . . he approaches very near the "offending" official before anyone on the court sees him.
He reaches out quickly and takes the officials glasses right from his face.
He calmly takes out a hankerchief and cleans the glasses and then hands them back to the official.
While the crowd gave the old man a standing ovavtion security ejected him from the arena.
Some times the true stories are the funniest.
