Don't worry Bainer, stupid things happen in Ontario.
I once saw a Level 4 or an experianced level 3 umpire in Burlington eject a pitcher in the old Midget age group (16 & 17) for throwing a "Shine Ball" during a tournament. The pitcher rubbed the ball on his uniform pants to get some mud off the ball(rained early in the day), and the umpire only had a supply of 3 balls for the game and all balls were more or less in teh same shape.
What amazes me about alot of umpires is how well they can read the rule book, but very few understand what they read.
