Unejected a Coach

[canadaump6]

I had this situation happen to me back in August when I was doing an allstar tournament game. Tag play at second base to end the inning, the runner was clearly out. Third base coach yells from across the diamond "you're killing us blue!". I say back "coach don't go there". He responds with "don't go there? I'm going to go there, with both of you blues, all game". At that point I should have dumped him but didn't. I was in right field kicking myself for not taking action, when he says from the dugout "56 for 29 blue".

Now this was a bit of an emotional reaction on my part, because I hadn't heard the first part of what was said, so I said "coach you're gone". He says "What do you mean? I said 56 for 29 blue".

At this point I realize my mistake, and go to the dugout and tell him he's still in the game. I think there is a good moral to this story that is important for us to consider. Everyone makes mistakes. It takes a man to admit to his mistakes and fix them. Obviously whether someone should be ejected or not is a judgement call, and a judgement call can be reversed. 9.02 c: If a decision is appealed, the umpire making the decision may ask another umpire for information before making a final decision.
