My thought is who would eject after the game has ended and for what? I understand that you can do so in FED while in still in the "vicinity" of the playing field.
I don't necessarily think that he was in a bad position. He had the ball in the OF, and retreated to a good spot IMO. I know that the book may want him on the third base line extended, but I think he had a great angle where he was since the runner was between he and the catcher.

OK, the umpire took the play at the wrong place and the runner was safe. Let's look beyond that.
It's the last play of the game. I'm calling a runner out and walking out of the park. I'm not sticking around to see what they think of my call. I know what the offense thinks (regardless of whether it's correct) and I know what the defense thinks. I won't avoid a post-game ejection, but they'll be yelling at my back.
