Can an umpire eject a fan from the stands? A parent, disagreeing with a call announced "you really blew that call, blue. Are you blind?" (no, it was not me). For which the umpire insisted the fan had to leave.

If a fan is really so bad that he can't be ignored, I'll have the game manager handle him. That may mean removal or just a warning or whatever. And if a game manager hasn't been identified, it's the home team's head coach. But generally, meaning way more than 99% of the time, I don't hear the fans.
