USC--Do you have to see it?

Another guy popped up and threw his bat to the fence on his dugout's side (1B side) of the field, nearly clipping one of his own teammates in the knees.

Oh I see... The beer guys again!

Yeah I dont care about that if they throw it in anger in their dug out. Hell I dont care if they beat their face against the wall. I've ejected for throwing a helmet by my feet though!

Thats me though. I'd be smiling to watch you do it though!!

I thought you were ejecting girls for tossing their bat after a hit.

Not necessarily. I tossed a Co-Rec player from Great Britain in a World Cup game for throwing a bat.

Don't know if you have ever been to the ISF Complex in Plant City, but the fields are those of a former MLB (spring training) facility. The backstops have to be nearly, if not more, 30' from baselines.

This player popped up and started down the 3B line, lifted the bat above his head. I quietly comment just so the batter and catcher can hear me, "don't do it". Next thing I know, there is a ringing from the bat hitting the fence in flight. "Number 14, you're done".

Best part was as the manager/1B coach was coming in, I tell him 14 needs a substitute and the response was, "Absolutely, you will have one right away, sir." Gotta love the English.

My motto for a coach or player throwing equipment in a un-sportsman like manor is: If they can catch it before it hits the ground, they can remain in the game.

Just got word today one of our umpires let a coach (new coach who is the only one I've warned this year so far) throw his hat about a call.

15 year umpiring veteran.. lets him stay in the game.

Amazing.
