1. Ever try saying: Excuse me guys, just one out here at a time.

2. Ejections are not always a sign of positive game management.

I don't like tossing anyone. You had to be there.

High School Teams from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, come down to play in Florida every summer as part of a pre-season exhibition. The fans were the worst I had EVER SEEN!
Complained about EVERY call. Opposing coaches were arguing, fans were ready to fight.

So in one inning, I called a balk on pitcher for stepping towards home (on plate side of his 90%) with a man on 1st and third. Both Coaches come out at me screamin' getting fans in a frenzy. That's when I tossed him. They should know who can come out, and if they didn't, they know now.

Everyone is really goin' crazy now. An inning later, the other team brings in a new pitcher. He hits the first 2 batters. The next pitch to third batter is behind batter. I toss the pitcher. Anyway, both Coaches come out, one saying "that's my son, he's not throwing at anyone". I say "are you the Manager"? He says "no"...well, YOUR GONE!

He came and got in my face like he was gonna punch me. My partner was nowhere to be found I might add. So I swell up and get in his face and tell him "I said your gone, now get out of my face and off the field". I know I probably shouldn't have, but I wasn't gettin' suckered.

My statement: >"If Manager and Assistant coach comes out to argue a call, Toss the Assistant Coach...lol
wasn't meant as a standard, just as a situational jest.
