throwing the bat

[davekoch]

and what is the ruling for a fielder throwing a bat
at a baserunner? oh yeah, no ejection but a $50k fine,
just ask the rocket...

just curious what some of you umpires would have
done in a college, high school or youth league game
if this were to occur. i realize it's hard to imagine
since almost none of these use wooden bats and
would not occur in the same manner, but what if?

i have always thought ejection would have been
appropriate..., come on, he thought it was the ball?!?

i was at the alcs game in 1990 when clemens was
ejected for basically shaking his head in disgust
of ball/strike calls and the piazza incident seemed
much worse, not to mention dangerous.

never been a rocket fan, if you couldn't tell,
