Well, you're going from the frying pan into the fire. Unless you are in a stadium with police protection you should never extend beyond the field. Even then, it's not advisable.

I thought it to be a good ejection, as did some other umpires and people around baseball told me, and a few here told me not to worry about it, just to keep practicing my ejections - throw more people out.

Now that's real sound advice, "throw more people out". It's begining to sound like you are taking advice from the horse's a$$ - and it's going to cost you some teeth very soon!

I just talked to my league president, I am the vice president, and he chewed my butt for throwing the guy out! He said "there is always going to be some complaints about your calls, umpiring is a thankless job."

I think that you should listen to this guy. He's absolutley right.

Look, I don't care if the fan is disrupting the game, there are other ways of dealing with it. Get both coaches together, clear the field and let them tell the fans that if this doesn't stop, the game will not continue.
