Best ejections

I'll go ahead and tell one ejection story ....
18G
I had a moody catcher, not sure what her problem was but she was asking over and over "where that miss" and generally being a pretty miserable person to work behind. Holding the glove out on obvious balls, all the bad stuff.

So we kind of had our issues for a few innings, because I dont take a lot of bs, and finally her pitcher beaned a batter pretty good and she said "so where did that one miss blue? So I tell her "You know what girl, I'm about done with you." and she stood straight up, turned around and said "dont call me girl" So I dumped her immediately, with a heave-ho. Obviously, only I knew about what just happened, so you can imagine the reaction and I'm pretty well unhappy at this point and her coach comes up to me and starts his stuff and I said "does this end with me ejecting you?" and he said "probably" and so I dumped him right then and there and he didnt get to say too much and he went crying to the TD and UIC. So it was a big deal. Even my partner didnt know what the heck happened. And I explained it to my partner stating "She reminded me of my daughter, she just wouldnt shut up".

Of course now that partner, being the wonderful human being he is, dutifully helps spread the word around every tourney that he and I work (which is often) that I ejected my own daughter and umpires still bring it up and its always a joke. "dont go ejecting your daughter today etc"...and it lives forever, and I now I guess I've helped that.

The happy ending came a few months later when I was calling behind her again and she was nice as pie and I didnt bring it up at all... by-gones are by-gones, but I knew who she was. So later in the game she asked me "are the umpire that ejected me?" and I confirmed I was and she apologized a few times and it was clear she meant it and I appreciated that and I never had a problem with her after that. I know her name to this day and her team, and she's a good girl. She just had a bad day and no hard feelings! (for anyone on this board who may have been there)

There thats an ejection story for ya.

It's sometimes amazing at just what is the magic word that will get someone tossed. . .

A few years ago at a Womens / 23U Tournament.

DH has never been tossed in over 15 years of watching DD play. Young base umpire (trying to impress the young ladies) blowing calls all game.

DH had been kinda of grumbling during the game about the calls. He had enough and said "We are never gonna get a call with these JOKERS doing this game."

Well JOKERS must have been the magic word cause DH got tossed and mumbled all the way to the outfield. DD then hit a double to win the game.

DH probably deserved it.

Donnie and his "ejection rock" got me thinking about how ejections are handled. Here in Socal leaving the dugout and going to the outfield is not enough, they pretty much all request/require that you leave the park(from what i have heard ). I always thought that was a bit extreme. As long as you are out of the immediate vicinity isn't the goal accomplished?
What is the norm for most?

The rule is "leave the grounds". I've not found "immediate vicinity" to be advantageous since they usually come back around, want to snivel their case, etc (and the only rule recourse for that is forfeit). Out of sight out of mind is the rule of thumb. Adults need to go. Minors I usually just bench (in HS ball you must bench a minor)

ASA made it a rule a couple years ago. And there is good reason. As a result of an ejection, umpires have had cars damaged, equipment stolen and direct confrontation, some resulting in assault and/or arrest.

I have never went looking for an ejected individual. There have been times when I have noticed someone who has been ejected, but did not go out of my way to get him/her. I would let the coach of that team know that I have seen the individual and that if s/he just sits there silently, I'm not going to worry about it. However, if I hear anything from him/her, the game is over. That way I let the coach keep his/her team playing and not detract from the game because some idiot cannot behave themselves.

Makes sense, the one time I was ejected, my parents were in an uproar, one of the kids grandpa wanted to go after the blue. I stayed and ask them to chill. I also wanted to be able to identify the blue when I went and filed a complaint with the td, probably didnt affect anything, but I had never seen the guy before and havent seen him since.

Anyone remember the movie "They Call Me Bruce?" "Take a good look at my face...I'm an oriental."

But I prefer "ornamental" myself.

And for the record, there is no such thing as a racist word.

Sorta like George Carlins take on there being "no bad words" ...
