Here's a new column, mostly encouraging coaches to put on a show and get ejected more.

Excellent aritcle. I agree with the reporter's theme that getting tossed in a dramatic way is a form of baseball entertainment. As an umpire, I don't mind if a coach wants to get ejected to entertain the crowd just so long as there is no physical violence. Let's face it, we are in the business of entertainment. The kind of arguments between coaches and umpires reminds me of the trash talking discourses between wrestlers in the WWF. It is human nature for the crowds to enjoy watching two people go out it verbally.
