I have ejected one fan in my short career. My partner was a 3rd year, talented umpire who is built like an ox. He was a fast tracker. I was a first year umpire.

We were working in podunk arkansas in a conference game between the 2 cellar dwellars and a fan was sitting immediately behind the plate making comments directed at my partner. (I was the BU). I couldn't hear these comments but I could tell something was throwing him off. Between innings I went to him to ask what was going on and he told me that the knucklehead behind the fence was really getting him rattled. So I, being the cocky young paratrooper that I am, baited the guy the next inning. Close call he didn't like. I whirled and said "YOU...LEAVE...NOW". The guy left, after I threatened to forfiet the game.

What I learned was get the administrator or the coach to handle this, and if he won't do it. Dump the coach.
