Gammons: Go back to the NY-Penn League

[ren0901]

...from Boston.com:

On why he was ejected by umpire Scott Barry in the second inning last night:

Francona: “I went out and was arguing a lot of what happened in the first inning. I thought there was an obstruction play [when a runner slid into second in the first inning]. The rules say you have to make an attempt to touch second. There was no attempt. I know how I feel. And Scott’s explanation I didn't think was very good, and I was looking for a reason to go back out and tell him that, and I did. So I knew I was going to get ejected. I got to a point where I thought, 'OK, he didn’t throw me out,' so I said, ‘Cool, I’ll hang around.’ Right as I’m starting to leave, he ejects me . . . I deserved to be thrown out.”

Gammons should go back and write for the Farm Weekly in Russell Kansas!

I guess he means an interference play?

I give Terry credit for admitting he deserved to get thrown out, regardless if he is getting obstruction and interference mixed up.
