By both tradition and the written rule, an umpire's authority does not extend to fans unless they trespass on the field.
As one major leauge umpire said, "Only Bob."
MLB will either fine Davidson, or issue a statement supporting his action as warranted in an "unique" situation. If he is fined, it will most likely not be made public as is MLB's custom.
In either case, I'll wager this is his last season.
