My 1st ejection ever, 26 years ago, was in a colt league game. Visiting pitcher really, really good, wish I had gotten his name to see how he did in the pros (catcher said that he'd been scouted). Home team catcher takes 3 called strikes for out 3. He apparently didn't like the calls because on 1st pitch in the top half we had a fastball a little high and inside that he dropped his glove on and let me take in the mask. Got up (it hit high just right and knocked me back) and tossed the catcher. I was so PO'd that when the coach came out to argue the ejection I met him half way and said "Coach, I just got intentionaly beaned in the head. Your catcher is gone, your pitcher was in on it and if you say one word he goes too." Coach believed me. I took more hits because the second string catcher wasn't that good but I'd rather have the accidental ones that I can anticipate than the intentional.
