I cannot imagine ejecting someone for non compliance for such a trivial thing, but I have been told to do so if the situation arises.

As umpires, we are the only ones in the world expected to be perfect on our first day on the job, and improve from there!

Sounds like a "mouth" rule, not a ground rule, and no, never been to a field where sunflower seeds are forbidden. Why would they be?

I have umpired in a couple of domes where they are forbidden, because unlike on an outdoor field, they don't decompose or get chopped up by the lawn mower.
