No Brainer?

Unless I mis-read the original post, the actions of this player occured AFTER the last out of the game?? Maybe that affected the PU's decision to just "get out of dodge" while he had the chance?

I don't agree with not ejecting this player if the game is still in progress, but I might agree to let it go if it is the last out of the game.

I only disagree with you in that it encourages this sort of behavior in future games. If you don't eject in this situation, they will think it's okay to do it after every game. It could lead to more problems if they think they can get away with anything post-game.

You know Steve I agree with you. My mind was not totally made up on this one, that's why I said I "might" let it go if it occured after the last out of the game. Upon further review, I would have ejected this player, in this situation, because this is both a sportsmanship and safety issue.

I have ejected coach's after the game was over for unacceptable behavior, so why make an exception in this case??

Part of me feels like it's MORE important to toss him (assuming I'm PU) if he does it at the end. Players can't feel like the second the game is over all decorum is moot and they are free to do whatever they want.

If there is some sort of magical troll, similar to the one in Harry Potter, raging through the dugout, I would allow helmets and bats to be tossed at him in the dugout.

Thats actually the most likely situation I could think of. Everything else, wind it up on your right hand, hop twice on the right foot, transfer the weight, and bring the arm quickly through the zone with a slight flick of the wrist at the end
