I guess it depends on what is meant by "flagrant misconduct."

There's another good point. Is there a difference in how these plays should be ruled?:

Play 1:

BR thinks his fly ball will be caught and viciously flings his bat in anger, shattering the opponents' water cooler. Then as he passes 1B he utters a racial slur and kicks F3. Umpire ejects BR. The ball goes over the fence.

Play 2:

BR thinks his fly ball will be caught and says, for the third time that game, "Ump, you took the bat right out of my hands." Umpire ejects BR. The ball goes over the fence.

I have assumed that any ejection would practically by definition involve flagrant misconduct, but maybe routine ejections don't qualify.
