Six EJ's
Sitch:
15 yr. old Babe Ruth game, runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Single to right, R2 tries to score, my partner calls him out. R1 slips rounding third, catcher throws down, I call R1 out on the tag. 3B coach (adult asst.) jumps up and down screaming "What the f**k was that?" and "You're f**king horrible!". I eject him. On-deck batter and the manager come up to me. Manager wants to know why I ejected the coach. Asks if the coach's First Amendment rights were suspended when he walked on the field. I tell him that this conversation is done. On-deck batter says "So if I tell you that you suck, you'll throw me out?" I eject him. Manager comes back yelling that the kid was only asking me a question, I'm power mad, I'm awful, etc. I eject the manager. Batter-runner walking by me on my way to right field says,"You f**king suck". I eject him. First base coach (a player) calls me a cheating sonofa***** in Spanish on his way to the dugout. I eject him. As I am making notes of the uniform numbers of the last two players I've dumped, The pitcher coming out to warm up says, "Must think you're a big shot now, huh". I instruct him to warm up and mind his own business. He says, "What you gonna do, Hoss, toss me?" Which I did. After the game, three parents apologized to me, including the parent of the first base coach and the young man himself. Comments? Criticisms? |
You did the right thing, but the whole scene is awfully depressing. What a disgrace.

Great Job!!

Was there anybody left to coach or even play for that matter? :eek:

I think that you did what your were forced to do. Each one of them ejected themselves.
Of course there are those who will look far and wide to prove that I am incorrect in this post - right BG? |

The double trifecta! Well done.
|
Not a fun situation to be in, but each of the ejections seems justified and necessary.

< sarcasm > I can't believe you had all of these ejections and didn't have the courtesy to issue any warnings first! < /sarcasm >

I had an adult game. Dumped two guys earlier in the game for arguing balls and strikes. Got the pitcher later for saying "f you" when I called a balk on him, but the trick was the batter hit a grand slam. LOL What ensued after that was 4 guys off the bench being dumped for profanity after a bench warning. So, 7 from the same team. They were home team and down by about 17 runs in the top of the 9th, so the forfeit was no big deal really. |
Oh, and it sounds like you did the right thing! :)
